| | Wired News: Google's Latest Is All Talk |
 | | When not in use, Google Talk shrinks down to a "speech bubble" icon on the Windows taskbar (for the time being, it's available for Windows only). |
 | | In the future, Google says it intends to add a raft of new features, including support for other operating systems (presumably Mac and Linux), encryption, compatibility with other internet telephony standards, and versions with a user interface in languages other than English (text chat already works in any language supported by Windows). |
 | | Google Talk certainly doesn't enjoy the clear advantages over competitors that Google Search or Gmail had at their introductions. |
