Confessions of an Undercover Geek

Everyone is talking about Google and Google Talk.

• Wigblog - Google Talk: the desktop invasion continues - I wonder what Google’s next desktop applicationn will be.
• Inside Google - Exclusive: New Gmail Feature - It’s pretty cool. You can send e-mail as a different e-mail address.
• CNet.com - Relax, Bill Gates; it’s Google’s turn as villain - I like Google. At least they are innovating. What new thing has Microsoft come out with that has really excited anyone?

In other news…

• A List Apart 4.0 - My favorite web development magazine has launched a new version of its web site.
• MacCast 08.24.2005 - Special Interview with Leo Laporte
• Hugo Chávez, From Wikipedia - After yesterday’s events with Pat Roberston, I wanted to do a lil more reading on who our friendly neighborhood dictator Hugo Chávez was.

Tonite, with instructions from smash’s world’s blog, I was able to connect to the yet announced Google Talk. Of course, I don’t know anyone else using Google Talk so I couldn’t really chat with anyone.

Google Talk is going to be Google’s instant messenging and Voice Over Internet Protocol client. The fun thing is it isn’t supposed to be officially announced till tomorrow.

Download Squad claims to have the pictures of what the Google Talk client is supposed to look like.

Based on Google’s track record and all the exciting things they have been doing, I am quite interested to see what they would do with their own chat program.
