  I agree, there's nothing in the least bit revolutionary about this whole Talk deal. I do like the fact that the whole deal takes up way less memory than any other IM client I've tried, and how simple and direct the UI is. If I didn't use Gmail though, I wouldn't see any reason to use it over other IM services that offer VoiP, like Skype. I also haven't seen any way to send files, which is a major drawback for me.
  
  I do think its pretty slick how nicely it integrates into the Desktop 2 sidebar. It's very convenient to have the latest photos from my Flickr friends slide-showed, updates from my favorite sites and blogs, my email and my instant messenger in a single unified layout.

  Well, not every step to world domination is exciting, some are pretty minor.
  
  I still think they should have release something like Trillian or bought this software anyway - or fused it with Skype ... now that would have been spectecular.
  
  I would love to get rid of all these different service - and have ONE IM network. But those pesky providers won't talk to each other.
