    "GOOGLE TALK BETA RIDICULOUS!"

    January 27, 2012  |   By aloneinelcajon

    Version: Google Talk beta 1.0.0.64

    Pros

    I loved my Google Talk all these years with my Gmail account, it was the ONLY way you could see INCOMING email messages and know when friends have signed in.

    Cons

    I've had Google Talk for years, then something happened, no more Google Talk so can see INCOMING email notifications.
    Either the link was broken, or I don't know what.
    I HATE HAVING TO CHECK EMAIL 30x's A DAY FOR MY BUSINESS!

    Summary

    This program doesn't work, at least NOT on my Dell GX-270 with Windows XP.
    AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND MISS SEEING INCOMING EMAIL WHEN MY PC STARTS, OR WHAT EMAIL OR HOW MANY CAME IN WHILE PC WAS OFF.

    "Good idea. Unsatisfactory outcome."

    July 6, 2011  |   By irish4luck

    Version: Google Talk beta 1.0.0.64

    Pros

    Could hear well when calling from gmail via computer. Easy to use.

    Cons

    Took over landline. Home phone does not always ring (sometimes it seems more like a chirp). Loud static when trying to talk (caller can also hear it). Uninstalled plug-in but still having landline issues. Seems no way to correct as it's an app.

    Summary

    Wish I had never tried it. It's caused tons of aggravation and hours of research trying to figure out how to correct the errors of my ways.

    Pros

    II'm using it now. Seems no barriers can stop us. Chat & talk are bring people close & they are closing banrriers, We are now global citizens or can say global humans

    Cons

    nothing to say

    "Excellent product-perfect in every way."

    August 12, 2010  |   By andreaborman

    Version: Google Talk beta 1.0.0.64

    Pros

    Excellent, product no clear sound and now has a video plug in as well which works with any web browser.

    Cons

    None at all,except you have to have a Gmail account to use it.

    Summary

    This is perfect in every way,you can down load the talk strip which you can do voice chat from your desktop. But Google talk now comes with video chat,you must download the video plug in to get this. to use video chat you must open your web browser and log into your Gmail account and from here you can do a voice chat or a video chat.The sound and video is perfect but please note,you can do voice chat also from your desktop. But if you want to make a video call you must open a web browser and go into your email page after you have logged in to do this,and you can also do just voice chat,from your email page. Previously Goggle video chat only worked with Google Chrome,Internet Explorer,Chromium or Firefox browsers. But now,since all of the web browsers have been upgraded this year,you can now do video chat from most web browsers,including Flock or even Aol Explorer an old browser! There are a few unknown web browser that are still not supported by Google video chat but most web browsers are,including,Flock, Seamonkey,Opera and Lunascape.Which makes this software very handy to have,as well as the fact that it works perfectly. You get clear sound and picture and although you can at present only talk with other Google users,Google talk does allow you to send voice messages to users on other networks for example yahoo or Aol or windows Live. that is you can send vice messages to frends of other email accounts on for example Yahoo or Hotmail but you cannot talk live with them unless they get a Gmail account,which is easy to do.Also,although you have to invite the person you want to call to chat,or you have to be invited to chat,this is very easy to do. Google talk has easy links for this. It is very user friendly and the software is light on your computer. I recommend Google talk as it is very reliable and there is no messing about in getting set up,unlike a lot of other messengers.

    "Love it! Now if only my friends used gmail"

    September 24, 2008  |   By yolsley

    Version: Google Talk beta 1.0.0.64

    Pros

    Amazing sound quality and voice conversations are easily done, no time limit or reduced quality for faster load times etc, real deal.

    Cons

    Like no one uses it -.- I tried inviting my friends who use hotmail or yahoo accounts because from the looks of it G-Talk would work cross-platform so I could talk to someone using yahoo messenger just not use any features it doesn't support. Nope.
