Google Instant Messenger all Rumor

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the or-maybe-this-is-just-a-clever-distraction dept.

Jbravo writes "Search, blogging, maps, photos, email, and now a portal, Google has kept adding to their array of services. Is an instant messenger next for Google? Most recently Google has been said to be buying out a company called Meetroduction, LLC for their instant messenger Meetro. So, is it true? Is Google writing the check now? Well, after a chat with Paul Bragiel, CEO of Meetroduction, the word is not right now. He called the whole story 'rumors.'"

    Nothing beats ICQ's realtime chat mode. Anyone know of another client that has the same type of feature?

    I just tried Meetro. My thoughts: it's going to be responsible for a lot of freshmen and women losing their virginity this year. Other than that, it seems like a rather uninteresting IM client.

    But having logs of IM conversations is a really good way of proving the girlfriend I'd told her something... 'Bout the only time I ever win arguments.

    I don't know why moderators thought this was informative. It's in TFA.
