Google gets ready to launch Chat, GPay betas

February 7, 2006

Google has added a new section to its popular GMail service called Chats. It looks like your GTalk logs will be stored here for easy searching (finally, logging for GTalk!), and eventually you’ll be able to use the GTalk service right in your browser. Looks pretty cool.

The big G is also getting ready to launch GPay, a rival service to PayPal — also a good thing, because PayPal almost has a monopoly on that market and they’re getting to be jerks about it sometimes.

With all this “G”-branding — GMail, GTalk, GPay, etc. — is “G” the new “e”? Or “i”?
