Google Adds Chat To Gmail

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."

Re:whatever!

Google has every right to do whatever they want to make sure you're paying for their service by way of viewing their ads. It was part of the deal when you registered your account. Ads are increasingly a part of our world and they don't look like their going to go away anytime soon. As the industry grows it will become harder and harder to employ technology to hide them. The best solution, however, will remain our own brains, which are the best spam-filters known to man. So get your own personal Bayesian ad-recognition database populated as soon as possible by disabling Adblock!

And what do you do when the person that you are chatting with copy/pastes your conversation to another window? There is always the human element.
