Re: Google talk has been released
So I heard this little gas of a story at work yesterday:
In July/August this year, MCI approached Google with a proposal. The idea was that Google would develop an IM client software for them using MCI's VOIP technologies. The product would then be stamped and marketed with MCI's name to bring in digital subscribers and stuff. So Google’s CEO flew over for an hour-long meeting. After the meeting was over, the only thing this guy said was, “Hmm…this is an interesting idea”. Two weeks later, Google Talk was released.
Anyone else hear this? I can’t find any real sources.
