Google Talk

A couple days after launching the Google Desktop Search2 in beta (I am using now and its very cool - http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/050822-070418) Google has announced their new IM service called Google Talk.. The announcement was made yesterday and it went live today. Like its sisters, Desktop Search 2 and gmail, Google Talk is currently and will be for the foreseeable future in beta..
2 main upsides: using voice to talk on IM and the use of Jabber technology (which allows GTalk to connect with established IM services like AOL's ICQ and I will assume in the future, Trillian).. I have it downloaded and running here at work.. I am Aheer22. sign up so I can test this bad boy!!
