Google Talk
Try It, You'll Like It
If it's communication enhancement you want, give Google Talk, available in both gadget and client form, a try at http://www.google.com/talk/ .
By now several of you will have received a voice mail from me, generated as an experiment with (read "playing with") the new Google facility. Among its other capabilities, Google Talk can send a voice mail to anyone with an e-mail address and the ability to play an .mp3 file--and that's just about everyone on the Internet these days. The files are quite small as sound files go, roughly 200 Kbytes / minute with decent voice fidelity. Multimedia chat facilities and honest-to-goodness telephony are also available.
I'll have more to say about Google's new communciation tool as I explore it further, but the voice mail was so much fun, I thought you'd like to know.
