Google Instant Messenger Client Coming Tomorrow?
We have joked about an Instant Messaging by Google in the past, and even heard rumors about it as well, but now, we have an LA Times article which says "the service may start as early as Wednesday."
Basically, talk.google.com was found to be "waiting for IM connections using the Jabber protocol."

Hey Barry,
I was sitting here thinking to myself why the build up to Wednesday August 24th. After checking out the “This Day in History” information on the 24th of August I found this : August 24th, 1891 : Thomas Edison patents the motion picture camera. Given Google’s past of commemorating little-known days in science history, I’m wondering if there might be a little something to this date, Thomas Edison, the moving picture, and Google IM / VOIP - AND Google Video.
Could Google be adding video capabilities to its Google Talk Messenger that would make the software worth downloading and using?
