Google is speaking to me!

Out of the blue today one of my friends, Jason, sent me an invite to Google's new voice service. Being one who loves Google, and especially loves VOIP (voice Over IP), I was excited to give it a try. The interface is like G's main page, simple and easy to use.

My first experience with the new toy was miserable! My 1 minute conversation with Jason had decent sound but a 10 second delay. Jason later replied, in chat, that I was choppy and couldn't be understood.

Later in the day, I was sent another invite to use the GV service. This time it was an old co-worker that I hadn't heard from in quite a while. I accepted Josh's invite and within seconds the software began to ring. This time, WOW... How do they say that in Mortal Combat?? "Flawless Victory!". The conversation had zero lag and perfect audio.

I guess only time will tell how well Google's new service pans out.
