I've loved Google more and more since i first discovered Gmail years and years ago. I got to be one of the lucky beta testers when invitations were very scarce. I've loved google because they are efficient, and they do things almost exactly how i'd dream of them. For their efficiency and innovation. I love open source and all that but it has never occurred to me how much more open google could be. I love how they offer all of their software for free-- but they could open up some of the source code too...as much as i hate yahoo, and even more so aim, and most of all msn, i think that if they connected to those through gtalk, a lot more people would be open to giving it a try. (i know connectivity between aim is underway). Just throwing that out there-- not sure if anyone has any thought or anything they'd like to add
