Chats in Gmail...

A few days ago, Google came up with a new feature extension to their excellent Gmail service: chat in Gmail. Ofcourse this is a useful feature to have and would be a simple addition given Google's ability to search anything on the net, but for me it hardly makes any impact. Google Talk hasn't been as popular as they would have hoped. Apart from the voice chat facility, Google Talk falls woefully short in terms of text messaging. With an exteremely uninteresting GUI, and limited other messaging features, Yahoo and MSN's messengers have remained top choices for me when it comes to chatting. So Google can search all they want in chat logs, just that there won't be much in there to search in the first place!

The Oops! update:
Did not realize this. Haven't got the chat thing in my account yet. Now, this is cool if its all in the browser.
