Google Talk: Get connected not just communicate

We love Google talk because we don't just talk, but we're communicating live. We may not actually talk for minutes, because we're both working on a draft, a post, or something else - the point is, it's more productive communication because we're at our computers and we're both using hands free headsets, so we can talk and type at the same time.

Sending links, text and graphics back and forth is a snap using the the Chat window. Anything in the chat window is also saved in each of our Gmail accounts so retrieving items at a later date is very easy.
