 There are many reasons why Gtalk is still in Beta because it doesn't satisfy the Basic Etiquette of Instant messengers. Although Google keeps rolling out new features like Orkut Integration, Voice mail, File Transfer, Off line messaging etc but someone needs to draw Google's Attention on fixing some bugs users experience with it. Its not a matter of how many features you have, but how they actually work. Lets have an overview of major problems and dislikes that some of users facing with Google Talk. - After the Integration of Google Talk with Orkut, sometimes it disables features like GMail Notifications, File Transfer, Voice mail and hides the mail icon absolutely. You won't find settings for Orkut and Notifications
- Window Focusing and Pop Window Conversation is an annoying feature in Gtalk which works even when you disable all notifications in settings. There should be an option to disable it completely and make it stay like idle.
- Automatic Integration of Gtalk Music Integration with Windows Media Player,currently you need to set the plug in WMP settings but most of them actually think that Gtalk cannot actually show tracks from WMP.
- Unintuitive sorting and showing them as online status, many users have experienced this problem actually.
Hope the Google Team will make Google Talk better with consideration. This article was sent by blog reader Harsha. Thank You Harsha. Labels: google, review, software |
