'Tis called Google Talk. I'm downloading it out of greed and disk space. Apparently it works offa Gmail. Doesn't take up a lot of RAM or HD space. Very easy to sign up, as usual it's free.

Apparently you need a mobile phone with SMS capabilities to use this, to get the invite code. US only as of yet.

Is it just me, or is Google trying to take over everything? o.o

Ah well. Can't deny the fact they have an awesome map service (maps.google.com).

Hell yeah. Google grew from a search engine to pretty much everything. It's a household name. XD

Also, the download is less than 1MB.

Only if you don't already have Gmail, but with invites being passed out like candy at halloween now, 90% of the free world already should.

In the year 2012, when the world was free and peaceful...it came! GOOGLE. It came from nowhere. It attacked the people in their homes and enslaved the whole human race to do it's evil bidding by making them search for everything so it could obtain knowledge and becoming the ultimate entity in the universe.

Either that or Disney.

Christ, Supershadow70, is that your SIG!?
A bit long, wouldn't you say?

Like the idea but I usually do not download software that is on beta testing.

The keyword here is "usually": I make exceptions to this rule every now and then. I'd like to hear the sage words of the Cyc before I download this one.

Good GOD that's a huge sig. That makes Mau's sig look pretty, too.

Also, I can see Google's console. "Nextgen gaming: Online search engines REBORN"

Text counts for the sig height limit, too. Shrink it.
