GTalk and the Google Identity Strategy
I just put up a piece at Between the Lines on Google’s identity strategy and how GTalk plays into that. If you’re an OS X user, GTalk works with iChat. If you’ve already got a GMail ID, you just use that. No need to even sign up for anything. You’re already a member.

Linux (or Windows) desktops using Gaim (which is awesome) can also use Google Talk via the Jabber protocol. Instructions at the Google Talk FAQ http://tinyurl.com/crze3 . I'm glad because I can finally dump the old hotmail account I was using just for IM reasons.
