    Gmail Will Do Chatting Soon

    published on Wed. Feb. 8th, '06 by Swami Atma

    If you have been reading this blog for a while you already know that I'm sort of a fan of Google. They keep coming up with very good software which they offer for free.

    They make money with non-intrusive ads and that's fine with me.

    In this post I gave my GoogleTalk IM id and a few of us are chatting regularly.

    But now the Google team came up with a new idea which is to integrate the chat software with Gmail. The main two advantages will be the ability to chat with many more people (there are millions of Gmail users) and to archive the chat sessions in a very efficient way together with the Gmail messages.

    It seems these things didn't bother only me, but a lot of other people too. Which is why, within a few weeks, when you log into Gmail you'll find a list of your most important contacts on the left-hand side of the window, and you can chat right away with those who are online. You can also save, search for, and view your chat histories just like your Gmail messages.
