Talkster’s Free World Dialing™ gives you an easy way to make long distance calls, international calls and conference calls with up to 5 friends, all FOR FREE. With Talkster’s Free World Dialing there is never any charge for making your long distance or international calls from the ever growing list of countries that Talkster offers around the globe. You just tell us who you want to call and at what number you want to ring them, and Talkster will provide you with a local number to dial to initiate the call. You pay only for a local call (if you are charged for local calls by your provider).

Is Talkster free of charge? Does it need a creditcard? How dows it work?

Nope, never. Unlike other services out there, there will never be a credit card required to use Talkster’s Free World Dialing. We don’t charge you any money to use the Talkster service, so we have no need for your credit card number.

We create local numbers for you to use to make long distance, international, and group calls. Type in your name and number and your friend’s name and number, and we’ll create a local number for you to call your friend(s) on. You tell us who you want to call and what number you want to call them on. We give you local Talkster numbers for your long distance, international and group contacts, which you can call anytime you want to talk for FREE. In exchange for free calling worldwide, we simply ask that you listen to a short audio advertisement that in turn covers the cost of your call. The ads we ask you to listen to may contain special offers or coupons that you can use right from your mobile phone – making the Talkster service even more valuable to you.

Google Talk is one of my favorite and most frequently used IM software except QQ ( A chinese IM for keeping conneciton with my friends) and MSN (IM to talk with my customs worldwide for business), I mainly use it to talk with other Google Fans, who like a clean, light-weighted, ads free IM software with a great number of new features.

Although Google Talk has its own features compared with any other IM softwares, it’s not enough sometimes, for example, you can’t even send smilies to your friend in Google Talk PC edition. (you can do this with Google Talk Gadget)

Another big shortage is, you can’t find another Google Talk user, add & chat with him in Google Talk. To talk someone, you must know his GTalk account (Gmail address) first, it’s sometimes not so convenient.

While, with GTalk Profile , you can easily find other Gtalk users near you, or any other places in the whole world, to add them and make friends with them.

You can click on the map to navigate to your country, a lot of GTalk users will be displayed on the right. And ou can also search with your city name. Click any user’s name, his personal introduction, interest, as well as his gtalk account will be shown at front of you eyes, you can then determine to be friends with him or not on Google Talk.

While, to be indexed on Google Profiles, you have to creat your profile first, then other Gtalk users can find you, I tried to add my own profile

But when I submit, it failed, I tried in other browser, like firefox and Google Chrome, all failed, and didn’t try agian. And… the maps can’t be loaded properly under Firefox browser when I search with my own City name. It seems Gtalk Profile is still in beta, so if you find any bugs, please feed back to them to improve.
