Google Talk Launches: May the Federation(s) Begin

Just downloaded and used Google Talk. My first call was with a my friend Ken Cotton in Tokyo. Google Talk worked in the same hostile environment that SIP was being blocked.

At first glance the "signal strength" meter on the Google Talk client was cool. While the GIPS codes are supported, at least based on my first conversation, it doesn't seem that Google licensed the GIPS voice engine and the GIPS echo cancellation technology.

However, unlike some other really innovative services that Google has delivered on to date, Google Talk appears at the moment to be very much a "me too" service and has a lot of catching up to do in order to become a serious player within the world of end-to-end IP communications. This said, Google has a great brand to launch such a service and it will be very interesting to see what happens over the next few days and what kind of end-user adoption Google Talk experiences over the next 3-6 months.

In the Google Talk FAQ there is a reference to "Federations" and I would have expected that Google Talk would have launched with live federations already in place. Seems as if this part of their launch was rushed. ;-)

It will be interesting to watch how the "Google Federation" evolves and what it means to those who join "the Federation."

I agree about the rush, and the lack of "whiz bang" features. If you do the google/gmail/etc. thang, it's cool that your peeps are all on it... But I think the rush was that (and we're guilty of this too) there was so much speculation they probably just wanted to go ahead and release it with momentum... Or not.
