Google Talk helps people communicate more effectively and efficiently. It provides a simple and free way to speak with and exchange instant messages with your contacts. With Google Apps, your organization's IM network is automatically connected to the whole Google Talk network, so you can instantly connect with millions of other users.

All you need to make free calls around the world is an internet connection, a microphone, and a speaker (which are built-in to most computers these days). Google Talk also offers file transfers so you can quickly send attachments while you're instant messaging, and voicemail so you can leave a message when your contacts aren't online.

Google Talk instant messaging is integrated into the Gmail browser window, so you can see when your contacts are online and connect with them in real-time without leaving your inbox. Your IM conversations can be saved and searched within Gmail, just like email conversations.

Features

Web-based chat from the start page -- Chat with colleagues and friends from right within your Google Apps start page. The Google Talk gadget also allows for multi-person chat, so you can communicate more efficiently.
Free PC-to-PC voice calls (VOIP) -- You can talk to anyone else who's online and has the Google Talk client. The person on the other end can be anywhere in the world, and you can talk for as long as you want for free. If your contacts aren't online when you want to chat, you can leave a voicemail.
Real-time file transfers and text messaging -- Send files and text messages to your contacts. There are no file size or bandwidth restrictions.
Integrated contact list -- Your Google Talk contact list automatically displays your most-used Gmail contacts, so it's even easier to connect with others.
Integrated into Gmail -- Instant messaging is built right into Gmail, so you can see who's online and instant message with them in real-time, right within the mail browser window. Chat conversations can be saved and searched, just like email conversations.
Mobile access -- If you use a BlackBerry® smartphone, you can download the Google Talk application to your device and use Google Talk when you're away from your computer. Just browse to http://www.blackberry.com/GoogleTalk from your BlackBerry® smartphone to download the application.
Built on open standards -- Built on the open XMPP protocol for instant messaging, Google Talk connects with other XMPP-based instant messaging networks so you can chat beyond the bounds of your own organization.

Supported languages -- US English, UK English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
