Yep, everybody's talking about it. Nothing revolutionary, it's another IM client, but integrated into Gmail so if you want to send invites, you can hook right into your Gmail contacts.
Ken over at Ars Technica takes a look at Google Talk. Short summary: Minimalist will love it, people that like all the bells and whistles probably won’t.
Keep in mind, tho, that this is still in Beta. It has a way to go. But the one thing that really struck me was the VoIP clarity - better than I've heard over AIM at least.
Well, it's fun to play with anyways.

Google Talk is clean and easy to use. It's also absent almost every feature found in other IM clients. Want to send a file? Pshaw! Want to have a group chat? You're too social! Want to view your previous chat sessions easily? Get outta here! Want little emoticons? Skins? Go bug somebody else!
