Adium, meanwhile, supports other IM networks like Yahoo!, AOL, and MSN. For instance, iChat features support for voice and videoconferencing with other iChat users (but not over Google Talk). Setting up either Adium or iChat is pretty straightforward. So far, we think Adium and iChat are the best applications to use if you want to enjoy Google Talk on your Mac. Google Talk also runs over GMail+chat, but running your IM client on a Web browser might be too limiting, as you might miss out on more advanced features like control over sound and visual alerts. As of this moment, there is no Google Talk version for the Mac, but you can use third-party IM clients that can run on the Jabber protocol. However, Mac users are missing on one important thing, and that’s the VoIP support. It’s Google’s approach to instant messaging and VoIP. One such app that Mac users have been clamoring for is Google Talk. Google has announced better support for the Macintosh platform, and Mac users around the world are excited to see what’s in store for us when Google finally gets to release its under-development Mac applications.
