that's nice too. you only have to log into the chat when you want to.

It showed up a few days ago, or at least that is when I noticed it.

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

Thanks...Next time it comes on i will have to look for that.

 

[zoiks]

I have it too. Haven't used it though.

 

[spanky]

does this chat function in gmail allow sime instant messaging type chat only? or can you initiate a voice chat session? i'm a loser and no one on my contact list is online 🙁

I have chat in my gmail, but I never use it... sticking with MSN/Yahoo for now

 

[monk3y]

I've got it... haven't used it yet though.

 

[Charmed]

[YetioDoom]

Got it, tried it out, didn't like it. I'll stick with gaim.

 

[jagga]

still waiting 🙁

 

[thirdeye]

I have it but it doesn't work in Opera so I don't use it 🙁

I've got it, but I can't image ever using it. I don't think I could ever give up having access to every service (Google, AIM, Yahoo, MSN, ICQ) via Trillian.

doh. Is that why I don't see it ? I just logged in through IE and I do see chat partners in the left pane.

Are you using Opera 9 beta ? I've noticed gmail issues with it also... such as losing the focus in the textbox when composing. It sucks... I wish Opera 9 final would come out already.

EDIT>>> Opera 9 beta2 was released 2/7 and it looks like chat is still no good but the focus thing is fixed.

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.

i agree Gtalk rules

 

[AdamSnow]

Sucks that you have to keep Gmail open even if popped out... and sucks even more that it doesnt notify you of new text if minimized...

Maybe next version... 🙂

 

[Rock Hydra]

I have it.

 

[batchusa]

Just got it today

 

[EKKC]

i've had it for a while in my 3 accounts. but its gone in 2 accounts today. weird

 

[MazerRackham]

Up for me, as of two days ago--- it's awesome!

 

[EKKC]

mine is back. its up and down lately

but today noticed a message box above my buddies, since i leave gmail on the whole time, that it says "we're experiencing technical difficulties" and then a while later it says "and we're back!"

im becoming a google fanboy now
