Does everybody have Google Chat in Gmail?

[chuckywang]

I don't have it in gmail, but two of my friends do. What is going on?

It's randomly given to users, in about three weeks, everyone should have it.

[FLWRHART]

ive heard of it, but dont have it yet

 

[Miramonti]

btw, does google record conversations done thru google chat?

 

[igowerf]

I got it.

Yes it records the conversation unless you set it to "off the record."

 

[The Godfather]

I do.

 

[Chode Messiah]

probably. btw i have chat and i havent even bothered using it.

 

[MazerRackham]

Not yet for me 🙁

 

[cirthix]

i noticed it a while back, but i'll stick to aim+trillian

it is better than aim, icq, yahoo, etc. imo. simple and straight forward...what all of those programs want to be but arent. no bloatware whatsoever.

it's amazing how there are at least 10 companies out there who have an email offering and a chat offering (Yahoo, MSN etc etc), but we had to wait for Google to figure out that chat belongs inside mail... afterall, chat is nothing but a series of rapid, short emails... right?

all the rest (environments, drawpads, games, smileys etc) is just fluff

Its active on my account, but it won't work on this one Firefox profile I have. If I simply delete my firefox profile and restart firefox, its there fine. Its shows on IE, and on other computers with firefox/IE, but not on this specific profile. (I like to keep the same ff profile since it has all my history/logins for the past year and a half..)

yes, then no...yes then no.

It keeps coming and going so frequently its freaking annoying.

It is cool to play with, but i dont want people to see me go online everytime i want to check my email. Hopefully it will have an option to disable

 

[George P Burdell]

hasn't made an appearance in my gmail yet

It already does. You can sign in/out of chat.

I got it, but I turned it off because it automaticaly logs me in when I check my GMail account at work. It's pretty cool, though.
