We all though Google Talk and Skype were two competing products (didn’t we?). With the inclusion of Skype into Google Packs, we all proved to be wrong.
Infact, Skype makes a double entry, Once as a standalone installer and secondly within Google Toolbar which converts all telephone numbers and Skype usernames on a webpage into clickable buttons.

What Differentiates Google Talk from Skype:
Unlike Skype, Google Talk doesn’t allow us to make landline calls. Google Talk is jabber based and serves as text messenger, while Skype is Voice and Video Call Application. Sounds logical, doesn’t it ?
