Version: Google Talk beta 1.0.0.64
"Google going in the right direction."
Pros: This is an extremely small download for an IM client. It integrates with Gmail, which is a plus for me. Being in beta, many of the features that are found in other chat clients have yet to be completely implemented. So if you need a IM client with advanced capabilities, then you may want to wait until an official release. But with this beta, Google is showing that even though it is new with the world of IM, it will bring the simplicity and amazing functionality that it is known for to IMs as well. It has a very clean interface, and a neat design.
Cons: Of course, you have to have a Gmail account to use it. You can get one by signing up to be updated with news about Gmail. It may take awhile, but once they update Gmail, they will send you an invitation. Then you can invite anyone else you want to use it. Overall a promising IM client from Google.
