Few days before, Google announced its Google Talk integration with Gmail, and now its ready to use. This is a nice idea of integrating Gmail & Google Talk called Chat. Also, it will be good in places like office where messengers are not allowed. Nice UI as well.
New column like Quick Contacts showing friends who are online in Google Talk
When we click on the contacts, it will open a small frame to start conversation. Or, if you move the mouse over it, it will just open that contacts' detail.
A small window like frame with two buttons in the bottom
Go off the record will not save the conversation, and I think its not necessary to say about Block senthil <user>. The pop-out is to make the window a new page, without disturbing the current one.
The new message is placed with a Orange color head.
Also, when we opt to save the history it is getting saved immediately. You can see it there in the above image.
Minimized Chat Window within the Gmail Page
We can minimize the chat window like what we can do in Meebo, e-messenger.net the web based messenger alternatives.
Cute, light weight smiles and small icons.
We can expect both MSN & Yahoo 's new webmail based in AJAX to have the similar feature.
