Well Google finally decided to step in the instant messenger field. It's called Google Talk. Like gmail, it's still in the beta stage but is available to download. Also, users must have a gmail account to use it. Your contacts in your gmail account will be like your "buddy list."

It's just a Jabber server. Nothing particularly new.

Any good Jabber client should be able to connect to it.

ha that was pretty funny

I mainly use it right now to talk to my friends over the mic. The sound/connection quality is a lot better than many other IM services in my opinion.
