I'm on Google Talk right now.
From digg.com
This actually works. I'm connected right now using iChat. All I had to do was enter my gmail user info and set the Jabber server to talk.google.com. And it connected, first try.
We'll find out tomorrow what Google is actually up to. My guess is they'll at least have some kind of searchable chat log. My hope is that they will employ their new translation software that's supposed to be coming out soon. It would be awesome to be able to chat beyond the language barrier.

Google Talk = Google's new IM service that they're announcing tomorrow. All you need is a Jabber client, and a GMail address... read this and hop on the service today! (I'm not sure how long this will work, though.)

More Amazing Things from Google
It's amazing how much cool stuff them boys (and girls?) over at Google have been whipping up lately. There is the new Google Local and it's counterpart, Google Maps. Let's not forget the new movie: search. These three things are so well tied together, I really can't imagine a more useful tool. Search "pizza 90210", it will give you a map with locations of pizza places and their phone numbers. Search movie: 90210, movie: Kinsey, or even movie: Kinsey 90210. Don't forget to click on the name of the movie to see all the reviews of the movie as well as the ability to search within the reviews and lots more.
But let's not forget this little gem: Google Desktop. Google desktop like a mini google for your computer. It allows you to search through your own files. It works with music, photos, movies, documents, emails, even your web and chat history. The best part is, it all works with the ease and familiarity of Google. I always have the problem where I go to a website and then later, when I want to get back there, I've totally forgotten where it is, what it was called, and how I got there the first time. With Google desktop, I just open up my web browser and type in my search and there it is.
I tell you, those people over at Google know what they're doing.

XMLHTTPRequest
I've just been reading about how the javascript class XMLHTTPRequest works. It really is amazing. The web application developer's dream. Now how long is it gonna be before I actually have the time to play with it?
Check it out: http://developer.apple.com/internet/webcontent/xmlhttpreq.html
For those of you who figured it out, this is how Google Suggest works.
Enjoy.
