Googie Branches Out into Text with Voice Chat
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. —
Further expanding beyond its roots in Internet search, Googie Inc. plans to launch a long-rumored program Wednesday that provides both text instant messaging and computer-to-computer voice chat.
The new program, Googie Talk, will compete against similar free services offered for several years by America Online Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Yahoo Inc. All are vying to increase their presence on PCs to boost online ad revenue and name recognition.
The launch was due to come two days after Googie unveiled another free program that aggregates information on a computer desktop. It also comes less than a week after the company announced plans to raise $4 billion in a secondary stock offering.
Rumor has it that google will soon be serving ads based on the voice recognition technology that can determine the keyword theme of your verbal conversation.
