Google.com is a well known website which established itself for a variety of subjects it is covering form international news, work for freelancers, valuable information on shopping , Bargain sales and a host of useful unformation which cannot be mentioned here itemwise. They have planned to advance from here to
messaging systems something like a forward integration or diversification of conventional Induatrial Plants.
Google Inc is set to introduce its own
instant messaging system , The Los Angeles Times reported on Tuesday , marking the expansion by the web
search leader into
text and also
voice communication . Citing unnamed sources “familiar with the
service” , the LA Times said that Google instant messaging programme would be called Google Talk and could be launched as early as Wednesday by end of Aug 2005.
Google Talk goes beyond text-based instant messaging using a computer keyboard to let
users hold voice conversations with other computer users. The combined computer text and voice-calling service would put Google in competition with the similar service pioneered by Skype,, which has attracted tens of millons of users , especially in Europe , to its own service . Separately , independent journalist Om Malik on his blog at http://gigaom.com/ pointed to technical clues that suggested Google is preparing to run an instant messaging service based on an open-source system known as Jabber.
Jabber technology would allow Google instant message users to connect with established IM systems that also work with Jabber. Earlier this week , Google said it was branching out beyond pure search to help the users manage e-mail , instant messages ,news headlines and music .It introduced a new service called the Google Sidebar, a standalone software programme that provides “live” information updates.
Over the past year or so, the company has expanded into e-mails, online maps , personalised news and more.
Google moves take it beyond its roots in web search and closer to becoming a broad-based internet media company.
