Google Talk goes fancy

Count how many instant massaging systems you have seen, I am sure it will take a lot of time and yet won"t be complete. Google Talk just merely sand cube in the midst of all, probably they cover only 1-2% of the whole IM users, for very good reason they don"t want anyone to know about this. If you are a Google Talk user, you should have noticed Google just released three significant new features to the product - file transfers, voicemail and music status. You will find the official Google release here.
File Transfer: Most awaited and dramatic feature ever to introduce in Google Talks, as most of the IM already has it. Files and folders can be sent to Google Talk friends by clicking the [send file] button. Surprisingly there are no limits on file sizes or type, and the recipient will see a preview of the image icon along with a status indicator within the chat session. Drawback-both users must be using the actual Google Talk client, for this feature to work. There is something about restricted proxies too, which might reduce the quality and speed of transfer.
Voicemail: I don"t why it took Google so long to bring this feature. You can now left Voicemails for friends who aren"t available to answer Google Talks call. The receiver doesn"t necessarily have to use Goggle Talk client, since they"ll receive an email with the message attached as an audio file. Maximum length of voicemail you can leave is 10 minutes long, pretty big compare to other IM"s.
Music Status: Since MSN and Yahoo have it in their IM Google should have had it earlier. Well better late then never, the good part is this one works for both online and offline music plays. If you are listening to music while logged in to Google Talk, you can show your contacts what you are listening to by selecting |show current music track| from your status drop down menu. This is only for |supported music players| like- iTunes, Windows Media Player, Winamp and Yahoo Music Engine (they expressed their plan to increase supported players).
Special Note: Only for Windows Users, No Mac or Linux version released yet.
