Shouldn't it be "tell Google how you don't talk?" It should, because Google talk never got off the ground. The instant messaging client is lagging behind Yahoo Messenger and Windows Live Messenger. The Mountain View Company is continually pushing the IM client but it more and more looks like a fight against the windmills. This because the Yahoo-Microsoft IM alliance is on top of an in excess of 350 million user pool.

"Tell us how you Talk. We want to hear how you're using Google Talk -- and we're looking for everything from the practical to the wacky. As in: did Google Talk help you get a date? Has it it reduced the cost of your small business communications? Is it easier to keep in touch with folks outside the country? Or maybe you used Google Talk to sing karaoke along with your friends in Korea ... You get the idea," stated Lewis Lin Product Marketing Manager, Google Talk.

Google introduced upgrades to its IM client on Google Talk's one year birthday, and even opened up the service to users that didn't have a Gmail account. Now they want Google Talk stories.

"So please, send us your story. If you're especially cutting-edge, try shooting your story on video, upload it to Google Video, and send us the Google Video URL via the same form. We'll post some of the most interesting stories on the Google Talk site. Watch for those soon," promises Lewis Lin.
