have used AOL Instant Messenger in the past, have used Yahoo Messenger some.
In fact, a lot of the Google Talk features presented here in this blog post have been
part of Yahoo Messenger for as long as I can remember...voice calls, video via web
cam, SMS messaging...heck I used to do that with AOL way back when.
I'm not convinced that I cannot live without Google Talk, nor Yahoo Messenger, nor
even AIM! At one time IMs were getting to the point of interfering with other things
I wanted to do while online, so I would either not fire up any messenger, or if using
AOL I would turn IMs off, or maybe run a little gadget to auto-answer them!
