Start the New Year off Right

I'm not one to usually make New Year's resolutions, but this year I've decided that there is something I need to do - push everyone I know to use Google Talk (gtalk) instead of AOL, MSN or Yahoo Messenger. Seriously, this thing kicks butt. Ok, so it doesn't have all the "cute" little smiley faces that those other pukes have, but it has much cooler features than that. Here are just a couple of things that you can do:

• chat (duh)
• show your friends what music you're currently listening to
• send/receive a voicemail
• send offline messages (yes, you can send someone a message even when they are offline)
• file transfer

The last one is HUGE! This is totally worth changing your IM client for. Have you ever been chatting with a friend and wanted to send them a picture? Don't go to your email, just use gtalk! How about sending someone a music/video/document? This option rocks! Think of it like your own personal p2p client (Limewire, BitTorrent, etc).

So it's not really a "personal" resolution, but I think it's one that will make everyone a little happier :)
