Well all of my personal and business contacts do - it's integrated right into GMail which is far more convenient to a separate application (although you can utilize a separate application if you'd like). That's the beauty of GMail and Google Talk - if I'm working on a project and one of my collaborators send me a e-mail about the project I can see within my GMail account that he (or she) is currently on-line. So if I want to hash things out regarding that e-mail it's easy - and for my blood far more elegant. Why doesn’t anyone use Google Talk?
