  Book Information

Are you tired of running a dozen programs to stay in touch
with the people you care about? Are you looking for a way to
call back home, without spending an arm and a leg? Then you
need to read Google Talking! Discover the "Google way" to
instant message your friends, with the power of voice and
text! Make calls from your computer to any phone in the
world! When you pick up your phone and make a call, you can
reach that person, regardless of what phone company they
use. Why should instant messaging be any different? Instant
Messaging has become the favorite way of internet users to
stay in touch. But to keep in contact with friends across
several IM networks, you had to run a dozen different
programs? Until now! Google Talk is Google's foray into the
Instant Messaging universe. In tradition with Google's
embrace of the Open Source community, Google Talk breaks
free of proprietary messaging, allowing you to connect to
the chat service of your choice, without the need to install
several different programs. You can also connect to Google's
own instant messaging networks with the Voice and
Jabber-enabled client of your choice.
