GoogleTalk: It’s Here. It’s Live. It Works On Your Mac.

Google launched “GoogleTalk” to compete in the instant message world with Yahoo’s IM, Microsoft’s IM, AOL’s IM, and everything else IM. Why?

Can you get GoogleTalk for Mac? Will it work on Mac? Need answers? We’ve got questions.

We have a few answers, too. Google launched their new GoogleTalk instant messaging service Tuesday. For now, GoogleTalk is Windows only, however, it appears to use the Jabber instant messaging system, so Mac OS X Tiger users can connect by using iChat AV.

Why? Why GoogleTalk? Does the world.... (excerpted).
