GMAIL Chat from your inbox

Recommended Posts

You can now chat from your inbox with G-Mail. I dont' know whether to be annoyed or think this is cool. I think I'm annoyed.

It's up and going now? I thought it was still in the works ...

I like it. It means I don't have to download a separate IM program.

Can you actually use it? It hasn't been activated in my account yet.

No. So far the only thing to be activated is the ability to save your google chat messages in your email. I like the idea is what I meant. I hate having three messengers up at once. Four would drive me nuts.

It's activated in mine. :)

I like it. Since I have an old Mac, I can't download Google Talk, but now I can use it through my email!

I think it would be really cool if they included support in there for the other types of screennames too like they do in Talk.

Yeah, that's my problem at home and at work.

How long have you had your gmail account? I'm wondering if they're activating them based on the age of the accounts?

Are you sure you can chat straight from email? I have a section in mine called "chat" but i'm not able to chat through it yet.

I've had my account a couple of months. It just activated this morning. I'm sure they'll all be up and running pretty soon. :)

Dang, I'm jealous ... I'm sure you're right, though.

Yup. A box shows up on the left side of the screen that says "quick contacts" and it shows all the people in your address book with gmail/google talk accounts that have it activated with a green/red dot next to their name.
