The very highly anticipated Google Instant Messaging software is finally out: Google Talk. Some of its useful features include:

• High-quality voice chat that works even behind our firewall at work!
• Close/Open little chat windows only by clicking on their title bar
• Consolidate last message by one person, which is good and bad. It's good since it saves chat space, and it's bad because it doesn't have a separator for each individual message.
• Works over XMPP protocol. Neat.

Of course, there are bad things like:

• No "Remove from Taskbar when Minimized" option.
• Its user interface still needs some work.

Oh, and I finally graduated today! Yay!
