So the new chat feature on Gmail is slowly rolling out. My main Gmail account doesn't have it yet but it's shown up on one of my secondary accounts already. So far, I've resisted Google Talk but if the chat feature is automatically built into Gmail, then I might use it. Maybe.
I used to use the Unix 'talk' feature when I was in college in the 80s, but when AIM and the like got popular in the 90s, realtime texting just didn't appeal to me any more. Give me good old asynchronous communication any day, where you can take time to compose your thoughts before spewing them over the wires.
