Is Google Talk TOO Easy?
Source: www.voip-news.com
I’ve been through the gamut of instant messenger programs. I’ve even tried many early VoIP services — back when the calls were fuzzy and static-y. Today, instant messenger and voice are often combined into VoIM (voice over IM) services, so you don’t have to flip between your AIM window and another to call a buddy for free online . . .
Google Talk is one such service that does traditional instant messenger with a VoIM twist.
Now, I love Google Talk. It’s simple, it’s accessible, and most of my friends and colleagues are on it. But, I am beginning to wonder if it’s not a little too easy to make a VoIM call.
Why?
If I had a nickel for every time I accidentally hit the call button and my laptop made a screaming ring at me . . . (and I jumped to stop it before I - gasp - had to actually speak to anyone) I’d be a rich, rich woman.
Have you tried any VoIM services? If so, which ones? Do you think they are too easy these days?
