I woke up this morning to a pleasant surprise when I opened my Google Talk. They had cleverly replaced the traditional Google Talk logo with one that reflected a birthday celebration. After I got done looking at the logo singing Happy Birthday 
I began to wonder if that logo is hard coded into the program or if it had to be retrieved from the Internet?
Anyhow, I have been using Google Talk ever since it has been released and it is now my primary instant messenger. I don’t like all of the clutter and “features” that other messengers have to offer, such as the new Windows Live Messenger. Sure some of the features would be great like video conferencing but I am sure Google will get those soon.

I too have been using GTalk since it hit - at first I didn’t have it as a main IM but it didn’t take long.
Whilst it does take up more memory than WLM when both are minimised, every single window that WLM opens adds about another 5-10MB to its usage, whereas GT just stays the same. All it needs to make it complete is group conversations (text or voice).
Group conversations would be very handy but I think it also needs to have video capabilities in order to grow its audience.
The problem with GTalk is that nobody uses it. Therefore, I won’t switch. I am currently running Skype and MSN Messenger.
It was like then when I first started using it, too. After awhile if people want to talk to you then they will start using it. And once they start to use it they will also love it.
