I think Google Talk has a lot of catching up to do with MSN messenger...it does not offer nealry as many gadgets as it's Microsoft rival. They should add things like display pics, multiplayer games (to play with the people they are chatting to).
I also think that they should publicise it a bit more, as hardly anyone knows about GoogleTalk (or are google going to do this when they release the non-beta version?)

I think you answered your own question there. This is still pretty early in the Beta phase, and I imagine the final product will look quite different.
The way that the current word-of-mouth is building, they probably won't need to publicise a lot when that time comes. After all, all they need to do is stick one prominent mention on their own search page, and that'd be as effective as a lot of other advertising.
Besides, I rather like the cut-down version that exists. MSN is crammed full of useless bloat.

I agree display pics might be nice, but, I hate when someone uses a display pic of something other than themselves, excepting a logo that represents them, an avatar of sorts... As for the multiplayer games, they sort of piss me off... They create too much lag within the conversation, they demand your entire attention from all other conversations, and worst of all, they look shitty! Hell, I like the SNES better than flash games... Maybe Google should make two versions, one for lamers with way too much processor and time, and a lite version for people who would rather use GAIM in the first place...

none of your friends use it probally because it is so new. I love using it for calling people over the internet becasue of the quality. Yahoo Voice's quality SUXS....its sad when this is in beta and is so much better. Also, msn messenger has to many useless features and i wouldn't want gtalk to get them.

I agree that MSN has too many useless features...but some of them are good. People wouldn't use it if it was rubbish.

Well yeah, GTalk is still in BETA. So many features won't have been implemented yet. Google's services and products are mostly related to their mission, which is quite important. So, I'll doubt games will be be built in anyways, they are unrelated.
I'm pretty sure that they will include many features that everyone wants/likes, and not include too many useless and pathetic features.
I think they will be better off publicizing it when it's much nearer completion or completed.
The average person will look at it, and see the lack of features and then forget about it.

Well, thinking again about the way Google do things. Here is a list of some of the minimal/standard features that will most likely be included in GTalk:
IM'ing
Needed for communication of course and already done.
Calling/Phone
As above.
File Sharing
Google want people to be able to find and share information. This is one method of doing it and is a must.
A Built in Search Feature
Probably obvious, but I think it will be done. You can see this sort of thing in MSN Messenger 7.0+. It could share results with other person(s) in conversation.
That's all I can think of for now, basically any feature that allows people to find, share information and communicate on the web.
Then there are those optional features that people want/like. Which kind of makes them not optional because people won't use it if its not there.
That sort of builds on my last post.
