Google Talk, an Instant Messenger from Google, allows you to make voice calls and transfer files, Instant message friends, family, and business contacts. You can even add the Google Talk Gadget to your webpage or blog.

Google Talk is a Windows application for Voice over IP and instant messaging, offered by Google. The first beta version of the program was released on August 24, 2005.

The Google Talk client is currently only available for Windows 2000, XP, Server 2003, and Windows Vista. Google reports that they are working on adding new features such as supporting SIP in a future release, which would broaden the userbase for the program.
