GOOGLE Adds Voice & Video To GMAIL

What do Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, and Optimum Online have in common? They do not have email chat!!

Today, Google announced video and voice capabilities for the chat function that is embedded in Gmail, the first any only email service to adapt the service. Well, it's not Skype, and you don't have to pay to make calls. Unlike other email chat products, Gmail Video and Voice uses a proprietary plug-in, not Flash. It is a small 2 megabyte download which supports Firefox, IE, and Chrome on the PC, and Firefox on the Mac. If you are searching for other platforms, you have to wait.
