I read every ones reviewz. I too go with those who support low resource eating , most simple and high voice quality Gtalk. May be personally, I still prefer Yahoo on Gchat and that too because of the wide range of emoticons and IMvironments available on it, still i feel some thing special may be simple about Gtalk. May be when I IM through Yahoo or MSN, I feel somewhat like being in a personal environment and in case of Gchat I feel to be in more of a professional environment. Hello friendz.

I would like to add a few of my own now :). I am currently a full time user of gtalk (mostly gmail version) though used to use yahoo messenger 24x7 earlier. For me the ease of use is really a big plus. Also the resource usage by the software. I think so though the new messengers give you a lot of addons, but they come at a cost of consuming more RAM and making your system slower. I would like to add that I preferred shifting from skype to gtalk for talking to my mom, because my moms pc is not that fast and because of it skype didn't work properly, but gtalk did. I would say if you have a beast of a PC with you then definitely opt for the software which provides you with loads of features, but the main thing i feel that is important is whether you can use all the other softwares on your machine simultaneously with the IM.

However, one thing that I would like to see is the ability to send images and other files. I can't count how many times I needed to send a friend a screenshot but couldn't. Oh, by the way, you can bold words in gtalk by putting stars around them (ex: *I'm bold*) and you can put them in italics with underscores (ex: _I'm Italic_) I think that the simple interface is great and I definitely don’t care about little personalization tools that add glitter and unwanted graphics (like AIM).

I have tried almost every IM that is available on the web and google talk is the best and clearest. The network is down sometimes but that is ok as long as we can understand each other. MSN and Yahoo messenger are so bad that most of the time the connection cannot be established or one party hears and the other does not. I think that google people will certainly be working to improve and add a few things to their google talk, that is the nature of their job. However, I think that both MSN and Yahoo peolpe have a lot of work on their hands when it comes to the voice and video in their messengers.

We use it for computer to computer voice because of the quality. It feels just like talking with a regular VoIP to VoIP phone but only free. The only reason we still have Yahoo Messenger installed on our computers still is the lack of conference calls in Google Talk. In this thread I do have to agree with Jaro. They better come up with some good plug-ins really soon. Actually, my buddies and I are using Google Talk. We use it for computer to computer voice because of the quality.
