Up until the end of my freshman year, I used to constantly chat with people online using AIM and MSN Messenger. It seemed that I would look online to see if any of my friends were there so that I could procrastinate my homework longer. Anyway, I gave that up after my mission in Russia. However, today I was looking at Google News and saw that Google just released Google Talk. It is a program that can be used to chat with other people and talk to people using a speaker and microphone. You can download this IM program at www.google.com/talk. Even though I gave up instant messaging years ago, I downloaded it and thought that I would try it out. It's pretty basic right now, but is supposed to evolve into an IM program that also allows you to chat with people who use AIM and MSN Messanger. See if you like it.
