Google just launched it’s new service, Google Talk, to rival MSN, AIM and YM. It looks pretty slick and since I like Google I think I’ll download it and see if I’m up for a switch.

It’s a 900kb download, much smaller than the other messenger services and it’s got a clean effective design with no ads. I’ll say that again, it’s got a clean effective design with no ads. Ok I’m repeating myself, here’s what Google says:

They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk offers you:

• Choice: Get in touch how and when you want to–over email, IM or a call
• Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room
• Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away

Google Talk is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password.

So if you have a Gmail account and you want to test this with me, you can stalk me at jerrrm-at-gmail-dot-com.
