What's a birthday without a small change? Customize Talk found a nice Easter egg: if you change the date of your computer to August 24, Google Talk's logo will change. That means more than 44,000 users will have a big surprise tomorrow.
One year ago, Google Talk's Chad Thornton wrote:
"Designers rarely get to work on their dream projects. When I was researching instant messaging in grad school, the prospect of designing a new instant messaging product was fanciful at best. When I came to Google, the odds improved a bit. When I became the designer on Google Talk, it still didn't quite seem real until we launched today.
Google Talk is far from perfect, but it's a start, and we chose to start with simplicity. Big plans are in the works, but for now I'm enjoying it for what it is. Hope you do too."
I think it's on the right track.

any chance of posting a link to add that calander to our google calander?
ReplyDeletecause the link you posted is just for the calander's 3 events this week.
The calendar is a work in progress. It was created 15 minutes ago, so it does have only three events. I'll add more, but I'll try to stick only to important events.
ReplyDeleteYou can subscribe using the small link from the bottom-right corner that says "Subscribe with Google Calendar" or by clicking here.
The calendar is public and it will be linked from the homepage when it will contain more events.
