Things at Google Inc seem to be going a million miles an hour this week.
They have released an instant messaging service that may one day take over from MSN messenger and the Yahoo client. It may also steel the thunder of Skype since it will offer good quality Voice-over-IP.

Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for free–anytime, anywhere in the world. Google Talk offers you:
* Choice: Get in touch how and when you want to–over email, IM or a call
* Quality: Talk through your computer but hear your friends as if they were in the same room
* Convenience: Your Gmail contacts are pre-loaded into Google Talk so inviting or talking to your friends is just a click away
Google Talk is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password.

It is unclear whether there will be advertising opportunities available through the new interface.
