Reviews

  • Google Talk beta

    With an interface that lacks ads, the simple Google Talk beta dresses up its features by allowing you to leave and receive free voicemail messages, transfer files, and find out what music your buddies are tuning in to.

  • Yahoo 360 (beta)

  • MSN Messenger 7.0

    A fun and feature-packed IM applet, MSN Messenger 7.0 is a great upgrade for version 6.2 users, but we prefer the less intrusive Yahoo Messenger 6.0 and ICQ 4.1.
