Google Talk

Seeing stories on Google Talk in the NY Times and Wall Street Journal today convinced me this wasn't a rumor floating through the ether. So I installed it. Just one problem: I have no one to talk to. My IM is MS Messenger. And since my Gmail account is a secondary one I have no contacts to be used with Google Talk. It's really hard to see if I like this program when I have no friends on my list. If you have GT and want to add me to your friends list my Gmail address is sean--dot--hackbarth--at--gmail--dot--com.

P.S. If people need Gmail accounts I'll hook you up. Leave a comment or e-mail me at my primary address: sean--at--theamericanmind--dot--com.

UPDATE: The Time of London has a quick Q&A on Google Talk.

Michele needs people to play with it too.
