Network Externalities
Has anyone tried Google Talk yet? Its the new IM client which supposedly links alot of different IM networks. If you haven't tried it, its the PERFECT example of network externalities I've seen.
Nicely streamlined, it looks good with no ads or stuff, also it offers easy voice conversation and email. However, the simple fact that currently nobody's on my Google talk list means that... I have this very nice messaging client which is perhaps superior to MSN Messenger which dosen't let me message anyone. Hmmm...
Gmail's tactic of secrecy might have worked against them here ya?
Oh yea... once you pple actually DO read this, go try downloading and adding me chuachengyi at gmail
