Google Talk

It’s a special day for the instant messenger provided by Google, also known as Google Talk (or like I love to call it, GTalk) because its the celebration of its 1 year birthday.

A new version of the software has been released a few days ago, the update comes with some good features that other programs don’t have, like Voicemail:

About Voicemail: If your friends aren’t around to answer your call, you can leave them a voicemail message instead. Just record your voice after the “Meep” and your friends will get an email to their Talk contact address with the voicemail attached as an audio file.

The other features that were implemented in this last version of Google Talk: file transfer and music status + music trends – a website that shows what other Google Talk users are listening to, it can be separated by country (only includes Brazil, Canada, India, UK and US), genre, and there are weekly top lists.

PS – If you use/like Google Talk and want to send a happy birthday message to the developers, leave a voicemail message at talkbirthday@gmail.com.
