Can’t get enough of chatting? New in iGoogle is Google Chat, which had just been introduced yesterday. It has similar feature as Google Chat in Gmail that you should already familiar with.
This is useful for people who can’t access Google Chat in Gmail because of Gmail being blocked from office network environment. Now.. you another reason to start chatting I guess..
Although the post stating this feature is only available in English language for US user, if you’re impatient (like me), just opt in via this link, you’ll immediately have Google Chat on iGoogle sidebar.
Apparently Google has cleared up the mess from the troubled SMS/text messaging service that they rolled out few weeks ago
It is back now, and promise a lot more stability & reliability. No change in term of usability or functionality except perhaps on the quality of service.
Read it carefully, only US phone number can receive the SMS/text messages, but sending text messaging/SMS can be done by anyone regardless where they are, as long the the receiver phone number is US phone number.
SMS receiver can reply back, which the message will then appear on the Google Chat window. It works like chat except the another participant is on mobile phone. Head to Gmail Blog for full story including usage, bill, and how the SMS from Google Chat looks like.
