Yeah same for now, until gtalk gets more popular.

I don't like the fact you need a Gmail account for it. I like to have the freedom to choose whichever email provider I want.

[Yohji]

Gmail is the best email provider by far though!

You do you can sign up a gmail account and leave it. But why youd want to use anything else ive got no idea, since gmail does rock something special.

Yup, google's free services are getting better and better, and they're still earning a mint off it! Don't complain, it's a free service, and g-mail is excellent. I've got a decent e-mail with them.

Hopefully more great services in the future!

yeh i spotted that but its all a bit formal seeing my name at the top everytime I open it.

Easy to change your name, goto your Gmail account setting

[Dougal]

Its on Gtalk, click the settings text on the top right

[Elmo]

it changes what you see but not what others see, everyone else still sees the front part of ur email addy

Is anyone else struggling with the interface?

I want to speak to just one person, but I can't isolate window, when I bring them up after minimising them, I get the contact list and all the other chat windows stuck together which takes up half the screen!

[Elmo]

yeah it's annoying.

Press tab to change between convos in a ultra-lightspeed manner. Also double clicking on the conversation title bar minimizes it in quite a cool way, lol
