Gmail + Talk, chat with Google Talk directly from Gmail
I was talking yesterday about AJAX chat applications, and today Google have just announced new features and introducing Google talk in Gmail. Currently you can only setting to save chat history in my Gmail account, a new link Chats have been added in the left menus to access your chat logs. Later there will be a Quick contacts box under the current contact link which you can customize to IM your friends with one click. The chat window will be opened in the Gmail page but you can pop it out and chat in a new window.
Gmail learned to Talk. Now Gmail accounts are automatically enabled with chat features. You don't have to do anything special, it just works. See when your friends are online and decide for yourself how you want to get in touch with them. Email and instant messaging don't have to be so different. And why should you always have to remember whether something important was said over email or IM? We've made it easy for you to save chats, so you can search for them, print them, even reply to one over email.
