Groups talk in google

Google talk beta was introduced in the market in 2005. There after there were continuous additions of features to this basic simple tool. There were already other instant messaging tools in the market. The competitors had lot many additional features in their instant messaging tools. The yahoo messenger and MNS messenger tools were already well known in 2005 when this google talk beat was first time introduced. Bit the easy to use and very efficient interface of google talk made it very popular amongst the messenger tool users.

The one point that was missing in this google talk messenger tool was that of group conferencing. All over the world people were waiting for this group conferencing feature. In case of the free download and free usage group, this was the last thing required to make it complete in all senses. In June 2007 this group talk in google feature was introduced.

The news of introduction of google group chat was received by a lot of enthusiasm in all the google talk users. http://lifehacker.com/software/instant-messaging/google-talk-adds-group-chat-271393.php is the web page where you can view the reactions of different people on the introduction of this group chat service on this google talk tool. One person rights that this group chat feature is neither ground breaking discovery nor new innovative discovery. This feature was already there in other competing brands like yahoo and MSN. But this up gradation was something that die hard fans of google were waiting for. After the introduction of this feature lot many skeptics of google talk joined it.

One interesting comment is by a person who was using the same google talk without group chat facility, for the same group chat purpose by using some complicated technical route. He has given the technical details for others. But apart from this comment, all other are about "I can hardly wait for this group call feature" type.

You have to follow these steps for using this google group chat feature. First of all you start chatting with one of your friends. Then click the drop down menu on the right side of the window. You will see group chat. Select this "group chat." Now you can add as many contacts as you want. At the time of introduction of this feature on22June 2007 it was available with google talk gadget only. There are interesting articles about this groups talk in google on the official website of google. The one which I find fascinating is how to use this google talk and group chat feature for becoming a multilingual person. The only missing feature in his otherwise perfect instant messaging tool was group chat. By introducing this group chat feature; this has become best tool of its kind in the field of free instant messaging tools.
