More on Google talk

Google talk has a nice clean UI. The installation is very small (900K) and very fast. I did make a PC to PC call and it sounds very clear. The downsides are quite a few though.
No emoticons. When you try some of the emoticon combos like :) or :D etc they turn blue but you don't get any smileys. Font face and color cannot be changed. No avatars or buddy icons. No "buzzes", "nudges", "audibles" etc. All in all if google wants to stay in the IM race they will have to improve. I still like Yahoo messenger the most.
