Interesting.
Looking at an article containing a comparison chart, Google Talk does not have a lot of features in comparison. |

All of this is really starting to make me think the folks at Yahoo! had it pretty much right in that Wired artlicle from a few months ago.
Paraphrasing, their sentiment was that Google today is where Yahoo! was several years ago before they transitioned from being a search engine to a portal. It sure looks like Google is following the same basic path since they went public. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing considering how large and diverse Yahoo's income streams are these days. |

I hope for Google's sake they studied very closely the demise of Altavista, before embarking on this new path...

I saw this at lunchtime ( our time. Greenwich - where it all starts! (IMG:http://www.highrankings.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) ) on CNN and again in the evening news on BBC Radio 4.
Makes me think I'd like to try it, but I've been ignoring the countless offers I've had for a gmail account cos, with yahoo & hotmail accounts plus my various isp email accounts..... what do I need another for? So anybody out there got a spare gmail invitation? (or perhaps you don't need an invite anymore? I'll go look.) NG |

I don't think this is a portal move at all. It's a little along the microsoft lines really (SIS also). An all integrated solution where users can access all of their information and look for further information in the form of a collection of applcations. It is diffent to a portal because a portal points out towards the world, and this points home as well. It feels more like something you'd find in an OS. To me anyway.

I heard in US, they just opened it but you have to give your Mobile(cellular?) number for to get the invitation code/link. If you don't want to do that just pm me with an email addy, and i'll send you and invite. |

That's right, it's intended to deter spammers who could take advantage of this service.

Google just released BLOG SEARCH (IMG:http://www.highrankings.com/forum/style_emoticons/default/appl.gif)
interesting that neither TALK nor BLOG SEARCH was released as LABS perhaps the LABs is being dwindle out - it has been almost two months since the last one - and that one was an almost duplicate of a previous one |
