Well, finally the rumor comes true - Google now joins the IM party. It's not a Gaim-like multi-IM service; but it is expected to communicate with iChat. Meanwhile, other IM players will not consider opening their closed networks to allow inter-IMing. For now, Google talk enables computer-to-computer voice chat. Perhaps computer-to-telephone chat is also on the way?

Now, if you think what Google will be doing, ask yourself what else you are doing everyday with your computer - web, email, IM, and yes, desktop applications like Word and Powerpoint! Do I hear web based office applications?
