Google Talk Beta Publicly Launches

BetaNews captured this news 2 days ago:

It’s official. Google late Tuesday released a beta of its highly anticipated Google Talk instant messaging client. Much like the search giant’s Web site, the software sports a straightforward no-frills user interface free of the clutter and advertising that bog down other IM clients.
Weighing in at only 900kb, Google Talk is a much smaller download than other popular IM services, including AIM, MSN, and Yahoo. However, for the time being its feature list is quite sparse.

Student blogs offer new recruiting tool

This story in eSN shares about US colleges/universities engaging students to blog to advertise student life to potential/future students.

Looking ahead, our students’ blogs today may soon become part of their CV/resume when they look for a job tomorrow. yah, y not? highly likely to be so *hmm*
