It's hard to tell from the site. They certainly don't mention compatibility with Google Talk. Or anything much at all. Limited information, no FAQ.
No detailed information about what protocols (like jabber) are supported.
I'm not impressed enough to want to download and try it.

DOES the world really need yet another instant messaging service?
We already have AOL Instant Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Microsoft's MSN Messenger, among others.
Apple Mac users adore Apple's iChat service.
Now internet search giant Google has joined the fray.
It launched Google Talk, an instant messaging program linked to its Gmail web email service.
This is one of several signs that Google is planning to become a much more pervasive operation, taking over many parts of our daily computing lives.
The big advantage of Google Talk, according to the company is that users who have a PC with a microphone can chat to other Google Talk users for free over the internet. The sound is said to be better than a regular phone, even using the tiny built-in mike on many laptops.
"It's wonderful to be able to ring friends on a whim without having to dial all those pesky country codes," says David Bau, an engineer at Google's US headquarters.
The same is true of voice over internet protocol phone services such as Skype and Engin.
Customers of those services aren't limited to fellow users: for a small fee, they can ring anyone in the world.
Google Talk users can't currently do that, but it is likely that's just what is on the search giant's mind.
Sooner or later it will move to trump the other IM services by enabling Google Talk users to make and receive calls to the international public telephone network.
Google could then expect a huge new revenue stream from customers paying for cheap long-distance calls over the internet.
As it stands, the Google Talk service certainly won't appeal to everyone.
It's only in beta (test) form, it works only with PCs running the Windows operating system - sorry, no Macs, no Linux - and you have to be a current Gmail user to access the service.
Gmail accounts aren't available to everyone, at least not at this stage. You have to be invited to join by a current user.
Google Talk uses open software maintained by the Jabber Software Foundation. This is also used by a number of other IM services, including Apple's iChat, so the hope is that users of all these services will be able to chat to each other.
Right now, however, Google Talk customers can't communicate with users of AOL, Yahoo or MSN messenger services. Or vice versa.
Google Talk's interface is spartan: there are none of the splash panels of news headlines, share prices or online radio services that clutter some chat programs.
There's not even a search box - you'll have to go back to Google's website for that. Nor can Google Talk users participate in group chats or transfer files to other users. "Welcome to the Stone Age of instant messaging," grumbled one early user on the Ars Technica PC enthusiast resource site.
Google Talk isn't the only new service the search giant announced last week. Say hello to Sidebar - software that displays customised news headlines, share quotes, weather forecasts, search results, new email messages and other information in a long column on one side of your PC screen.
Unlike the personalised web pages offered by outfits such as Yahoo and ninemsn, it doesn't need an open browser: it's always on your screen, as long as you're connected to the net.
Sidebar also offers a simple notepad for dashing off quick messages and notes.
That last item could well be one of the most significant.
It wouldn't take much for Google to upgrade its notepad into something approaching a full-scale word processing program.
What next after that? A drawing program? Spreadsheets? Presentations? All called up instantly from the web for free - or for a small fee - and combined with access to email, calendars, voice mail and instant messaging? Suddenly, it seems, Microsoft, whose Office software is pervasive in business worldwide and a huge cash cow for the company, could find itself under attack on a new front. |

Yeah, I believe the current maximum is GC$100 per post. This routinely happens, whether by accident by a n00b, or by someone that thinks they've found a way around the rules.
Just as routinely, an admin will remove those ill-gotten gains.
Or worse, if a member is seen to be breaking the rules on purpose.

| Quote: | | TeamSpeak is a quality, scalable application which enables people to speak with one another over the Internet. TeamSpeak consists of both client and server software. The server acts as a host to multiple client connections, capable of handling literally thousands of simultaneous users. This results in an Internet based teleconferencing solution that works in a variety of applications such as team mates speaking with one another while playing their favorite online game, small businesses cutting costs on long distance charges, or for personal communication with friends and family. |
