Google Talk – Message length allowed on google chat software

Do you know you can type as long as 32,767 characters long message in your Google Talk’s chat window? That is approximately 7 pages at 12 font size and exactly 32 kilobytes of data. That’s a lot of text for an instant message. Gtalk is Google’s popular chat software that allows you to chat on different platforms including PC, Blackberry, Android, iphone and other mobile platforms. Google chat has kept their interface simple through all times without sacrificing any features.

Google Talk has a large chat window but its not the largest. Skype actually has a virtually unlimited chat window and as long as your system can handle data in that window, you can keep growing it. Try it out yourself.
