Google Adds Chat To Gmail

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-be-a-weekday-without-a-google-story dept.

Nathan Weinberg writes "Google has added a chat feature to Gmail. It brings Google Talk, minus voice calls, into your webmail client. Gmail now also logs your IMs, whether they originate in Gmail or Google Talk. In the commentary at InsideGoogle, I note that Google recommends you disable Firefox's AdBlock, which can block Google's ads, if you want Gmail Chat to function properly."

  1. Disable AdBlock ? UNTHINKABLE... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    The idea that I would ever disable AdBlock is preposterous in the extreme !

    And on another note here's a good reason not to use Google tools (i.e. Gmail, Toolbars etc. etc.)

    Search for Tiananmen from Google Images:

    Search Tiananmen from Google China:

    "Do No Evil" eh ?

    Sorry I'll be careful to limit the amount of personal information I allow to flow through your servers thanks.
