Disappointed about Google Talk

First of all, Google is great - I really admire them!

Today, they officially announced Google Talk. They were rumours about something like that for month and it sounded very plausible to do. Yesterday, the rumours became more and more solid and here it is ...

But looking at the features I was completely disappointed: This is all standard stuff no sign of a smart Google twist to it at all and here are some great ideas to do that:

Integrate other of your services Mobile features - Competitors try it but it can be done better!

Many features are just missing
  • Call real telefons
  • VoiceMail
  • Ability to interoperate with other messenger plattforms - Hopefully comming soon!
There is still a lot to do!

By the way, is not it one of Google's believes
2. It's best to do one thing really, really well.
and the another
10. Great just isn't good enough.

Well, I guess then there is still some hope ...
