There are some cool looking skins to turn your google talk colorful. I personally like the IceBlue. It looks really good. Did’nt try the Mac theme yet but that should also be good.
You can find them here: Google Talk Skins

Got addicted to firefox long back that I dont even remember when I started using firefox seriously. The latest 1.5 version seems to eat less system resources than all previous versions. But I am really feeling new and wired without many plugins that I got used to. Mainly auto copy and the green google bar(PR) at the bottom. 70% of the plugins/extensions I use are not functional because they are incompatable with v1.5.. hmm..
Auto copy made me very lazy and now I am really missing it. Well, want to ask the firefox plugin developers(all contributors) to make it fast. I really appreciate all contributors and the firefox community for making firefox unique and lovable. Thanks very much.

I never came across Paint.NET before. It looks like an excellent tool.
Its from The Washington State University students and stafff i think and I am sure I am going to replace my microsoft paint with it.
This is the screenshot :

After Ebay bought skype in mid september this year, I think this is the first major new feature that skype is adding to its IM Software. The Video version is in Beta now,. with a known bug: Calls to SkypeOut numbers are reporting “call failed” rather than “busy” if the recipient’s phone is busy
Google Talk which was released in August being its main competitor now as far as the voip range tools, skype can feel the threat of loosing its users. I guess this Video chat version would give skype a good stand and also a potential increase in the number of users.
Two other intresting new features added in this version are
- Mood messages
- Contact Grouping
Not sure about how useful the mood message feature will be but the contact grouping was missing for this great voip tool and its nice that it is finally added.

Its not very long that google has released google talk and sites and applications are following very well. There are already many sites and communities for this upcoming application to take the VOIP industry. Now it is available like the online msn or yahoo messenger site.
This is the site: Gtalkr
TechCrunch » Gtalkr, Flash + Gtalk
Well, I am waiting for a mobile version of google talk to use it on my new mobile

Here is the first post at GoogleTalk’s Blog: Lots to Talk about!
I think this blog will be a great place for google talk fans similar to adsense and adwords blogs.

SpreadGoogleTalk, which is one of Google Talk’s many websites related to the product has been hacked and they have simply replaced the index page. Not sure how they do that but have seen it before. If you are not late, you might see the hacked page.
This just proves that nothing is safe on the net. Including the famous sites if they are not in the hands of professionals. SpreadGoogleTalk admins can simply replace the index file with the origianl index file they have but I am sure by now many from my region have seen it. Or am I the first one?
Probably it shoukld be ok when the western world wakesup.
Lets see.
