Google rolls out voice and video chat.
[I'm already using the voice; I am sure I expected this development. As for the timing, it does seem timely to me. The Google blog post about this points out how it helps this particular project team communicate between the US and Sweden (Sweden? Isn't that where Skype's from?); lately, you may have seen those GoToMeeting TV spots touting the benefits and cost savings of remote meetings as against costly air travel in a recession.]
Techcrunch predicts a whiteboard feature next. Ouch again for any company trying to charge for any of this stuff...
So... the purpose of Skype now is...???
Well, I guess you could use competing products so Google won't be archiving digital images of little old you yakking about confidential company matters. If you're the paranoid type.Labels: google talk, google video chat
