Google hangouts has long since superceded this now derelict, unsupported chat app. There is no reason to download this program unless you are simply going to pick it apart as a learning experience for programming.

The developement and support for Google Talk has been discontinued. Instead, Hangouts is being developed.
Google Talk is a messenger used to chat and voice call with another person. I used it before and it worked great however, this chat app is no longer being supported.
