Google is going to be releasing a new ‘communications tool’ tomorrow. There are many people speculating that it is going to be an IM service / tool. That would be so 1999. I think they are going to release a VOIP service. They might bundle chat with it similar to Skype though.
I am usually wrong about these things, but I am placing my bets on voice communications not text. Call me tomorrow at jackson.h.miller@gmail.com
