It has looked for quite a while now that Google actually wants to be everywhere whenever we do just about anything online. Today we have yet another functionality introduced by Google to Gmail to make the Gmail experience even more all-inclusive: voice and video chat for Google Talk. Quite logical, of course, because “talk” should not really mean “type” probably so adding actual voice and even video to the IM only sounds like a good idea.
The feature has started rolling [...]

Yesterday the FriendFeed team announced integration with instant messaging services that allows users to send updates to FriendFeed right from the IM dialogue and also see and reply to new comments on their posts and be updated when new items are posted by friends. At this stage the FriendFeed IM only works with Google Talk or other Jabber-based IMs but knowing how busy FriendFeed team usually is I’d expect other IM protocols to be added in the near future.
What I [...]

Today at the Future of Web Applications conference in London Yuuguu is announcing that its screen sharing and web conferencing application is officially out of beta now. We first reviewed Yuuguu in detail when the screen sharing and web conferencing application was launched a year ago at DEMOfall. Today Yuuguu reports over 100,000 registered users of the application with the number of those using it without registering much higher since no download and registration is required to join a meeting.

IMO.im , which happens to be founded and advised by several ex-Googlers, is a web based instant messaging that allows users to instant message other friends on AIM, MSN Messenger, Google Talk, and Yahoo Messenger. Users who happen to be registered with more than one of these free IM services have the innovative ability to link these accounts through IMO.im, so that logging into this service then logs them into all of their clients simultaneously.
Even better than the single login [...]

Have you always wondered how to tell someone to get out of your cube… in Chinese? Google announced the release of a translation bot that works with Google Talk and its mobile and Blackberry IM modules. You are just a simple chat message away from seeming fluent in 23 languages.
Up until now I've gone to clunky BabelFish when I have a tricky translation problem that isn't in one of the two languages I speak, English or Spanish. If I want [...]

We learned last week that Google decided to make its Google Apps suite available to nonprofits. The company will offer the education-oriented version of its collection to such groups.
Some rules apply, however. Firstly, Google will present its Apps suite to US-based nonprofits only. No word has been given on when or if the company will expand this particular Google Apps initiative to reach across international bounds. Secondly, only those US-based nonprofits classified under the 501(c)(3) provision – corporations, funds, [...]

I don't know why we rather rarely speak of various RSS feed readers. Are we all totally satisfied with our reading experience? Well, I use Snarfer for my daily reading of news and other blogs and I can't think of a reason to move to another reader now. But there is one situation we should keep in mind: when you want to know that a blog is updated the second it gets the update. If I were involved in Digg [...]

I've been waiting for the beta launch of Jubii with great anticipation. If you are at all like me, you have at least one email account, several IM accounts, your cell phone and/or Blackberry next to you at all times, and feel like you are using up every byte of available RAM keeping all the apps open and trying to sort through the inbox and incoming messages.
Jubii promises to end all this technology jumble. With one seamless interface for email, chat, SMS, [...]

Don’t want to wait for iSkoot’s solution to mobilize Google Talk? Well, it turns out someone was thinking of you and your lack of a pocket-able client: the GTalk2VoIP Team.
Nearly every J2ME-enabled (That’s mobile Java, to all you luddites out there) can utilize Talkonaut to stay in touch with your Google Talk contact list - and MSN/Live Messenger users too. All you need is a copy of the software downloaded to your mobile phone, and the rest is up to [...]
