Google Talk Opens Up For All
David Utter | Staff Writer
No more Gmail account requirement - that was the biggest change to
the Google Talk registration process, as Google now feels confident
enough to open the service to anyone with a Google Account.
The Google Talk service debuted last year, and over time has been
integrated with Gmail. Google's latest change removed the need for
a Gmail account to sign up for its Talk, a change they announced on
the Official Google blog.
Mike Jazayeri, Product Manager, Google Talk, listed the reasons for
giving the service a try, besides the easier sign-up process:
* free and crystal clear voice calls to your friends and family
anywhere in the world
* transfer files and folders to others
* free voicemail messages
* IM from your BlackBerry
