The World Loves Google
It’s true. The developed world cannot get enough of Google, and that’s why whenever Google launches a new service or piece of software nowadays it makes it onto the front page of the world’s top news websites.

Archive Written in 2005 and kept as it was. Links and products mentioned here may no longer exist.
It is filed in Archive 2005, one of the six sections on this domain. Its date, August 24, 2005, places it among the 65 pages of that year. The section holds 65 pages in all.
It is a short piece and stays short. Nothing has been added to the wording to make it look longer than it is.
In date order it follows A Pint of Pornstar Please and comes before Quick Update, which is how the section is meant to be read.
The thread under the original note was kept: 3 replies, all of them from 2005.
This is all the more strange because Google Talk is (like most other Google services) still in beta.
Underneath, the nearest entries by date are listed, since an archive reads better in sequence than one page at a time. Where the original gave no figure, none has been supplied here.

I’m undecided about GoogleTalk. I’ve only run it through gAIM so far, so it’s been rather unimpressive.
