    AOL Instant Messenger contains the bulk of my school buddies, while my relatives use Yahoo Messenger or MSN. I also set up a .mac account on iChat, although right now I access them all through Adium.

    So, if I felt like it, I could get a Gmail account and run Google's IM through iChat, but whats the point? So far the only people using it that I'd want to talk to is Asher, who is already on my MSN, and Imran.

    But, like I've said, if Google is able to do what others in the past have failed to achieve, which is to persuade the other IM giants (AOL, Yahoo, MSN) or at least some of them, into allowing cross-platform chat, then I will give Google the praise it would be due. Until then, all they've done is release an IM client that provides me with no real benefits, except for the possibility of me being able to do Voice Chat using it via iChat to PC users, something I cannot currently do.

      All my friends used AIM and/or ICQ in the late 90s. From 2001+ it was MSN, and now we're upgrading to Google Talk and MSN Messenger together until Google Talk is more feature complete.

        Well when the majority of people I talk to switch from AIM to Google, I will be happy to follow the crowd

        But unfortunately, they will not switch unless THEIR buddies switch, and so on. Plus there are those who will not even be aware of GoogleIM or whatever they call it. So, unless your buddies are predominately poly-esque geeks...

                Right click on the tray, and go to About...you'll see some faint text at the bottom saying: "play 23 21 13 16 21 19 . 7 1 13 5"

                It's an online version of a game from the 70s called Wumpus...

                      Ah, when I said download, I should have said 'install'. I don't have admin access. Only one person does and it ain't I.

                          I guess the next step is Google WebIM (WebTalk).
