RE: wats next for google?
Oh noes, I really don't want to be divided between MSN and Google, everyone I know uses MSN as their main chatting client, its the done thing around here. No one around here uses any other client.
Even if Google's new IM client is really great I won't use it unless a large majority of people I know make the switch, which isn't likely seeing as everyone has used MSN for years and years...I don't want to be divided between two IM clients...
On a tech side, I think its safe to say that Google would only release something if it was more than competition with other IM clients, and they really have done a good job keeping it secret.
Anyway, they haven't even said if it is an IM client, for all we know it could just be a cup and string with even more bandwidth. However it does sounds very much like an IM client. The main problem I think they will fact is that they may not be able to convince enough users to make the switch, if everyone is totally settled on their current IM services with contacts.
Anyway, I can not wait to see if this is a new leet chat client.
