Google Talk
Google is taking over my desktop.
And I’m not going to lie; I like it.
First they release Desktop 2. Now, I love Desktop Search. It’s freakin’ amazing. They have enhanced it with this cool sidebar that, I already kinda know will grow old, but for the time being, it’s killer. I still have to figure out how it’s indexing e-mails though, because there is one Outlook data file that I set it not to index, and that’s how I believe it’s done. I cleared out all the e-mails in the index cache from that file, so I’ll keep my fingers crossed about it working properly.
Google Talk is also SO cool. I can’t wait until there are more people using this beast. My girlfriend and I tried it out briefly this evening, and it seems really cool. To be honest, I’ve never really liked Skype. I can’t say why, but it could be their branding - it never really struck a chord with me. Google, on the other hand, really piques my interest by keeping things extremely simple. Plus, I know they’ll get things right because they remember one key thing: god is in the details.
Thanks for delivering that idea today to me, Ludwig. I appreciate it more than you’ll ever know.
