GMail (or should I start calling it Google Mail?) has added yet another free feature: Virus scanning is here! Get an automatic check-up every time you open or send a message with an attachment.

Google could also give you free space like Gmail’s...

The topic, of course, is how Google Talk can be used as a VOIP software – according to Tibault they are working with another VOIP software to improve the communications in their new application. As a matter of fact, I even saw a whole news report about Google Talk! I was really not impressed with the BBC for broadcasting that report now because Skype has been availiable for more then a year and its not had any reports...
