Google has yet to build a chat tool better than the old GChat / GoogleTalk-Gmail integration. It had voice and video (though not amazing quality, but it was 2006) and the chat was top-notch. It worked, it was integrated in my Gmail and it had text statuses which was honestly the best social media I ever used in my college days.

- CydeWeys 6y agoSame. I still miss Google Talk. It was the pinnacle of instant messaging, following and improving upon AIM/ICQ/MSN/Yahoo which preceded it. I used it with Pidgin. It's all been downhill from there, now that everything is just a web app and you don't have an application that can sit in your systray and open its own windows.
