Google Talk?

Google has been successful on its every move, so far. The search giant just released its IM software Google Talk a few days ago. The Google Talk's user interface still looks very "Google", but is its neat face enough for the long-term survival?

People seem less enthusiastic for this new product than Google's previous products. The reasons are very simple. Google only own a fraction of memberships compared to AOL, Yahoo and MSN. It is a fact that is very hard to change. Certainly, IM, as a communication platform, has much potential due to its popularity among young users. That's probably why Google is willing to put its name at the stake. While I am not optimistic on this move, we can tell if "Google Talk" is still talking in months.
