Google talk BETA Released!

So it seems like Google has gotten into the IM/Phone industry.  Today, Google released Google talk BETA to the world, and I have to say, the absence of ads makes it worth while.  The ability to talk to someone who has a Gmail account is very nifty and is a great alternative to Skype, just imagine the possibilities this can bring.  Is something up their sleeves?  I won’t ponder that question, so have fun talking to other Google-heads!
