What if Gmail made their own IM? Discuss. I was on the www.gmailforums.com and there was a good article concerning Gmail and GIM.

| I think GMail should be email only. I'm not sure why, I just don't think Google should have an IM service. There are already too many IM services, and I don't think anyone really wants another client. Also, Email in my opinion has always been a much more professional way to communicate. |

I don't think they should make one.
If they do anything in that market it should be to team up with one of the other providers.

Kinda funny when I saw "GIM" here, because a couple years ago I created GIM: GizmoBytes Instant Messenger, GizmoBytes being the computer site I run at www.GizmoBytes.com .
It was programmed in Visual Basic, based on examples I found with Google  It was never anything special, though, so it never made it past beta. |

| if gmail becomes really popular among even the average joe, then an IM would be appropriate, however at this time, with the majority of users using MSN, it probably wont be successful. |

me and my cousin were talking about this long ago, before gmail. we talking about they had almost everything except for an email service and am IM service, then a couple of weeks later they announce Gmail, i think an IM serivce would be great to go along with their email service. But i for some reason i do not think they will do it, well not in the close future   |

the IM service would be awesome. It should be better than msn, yahoo, icq, aim, trillian, and paltalk COMBINED. should be easily skinnable and be just the best IM service out there!

A GIM will only cause more mess in the IM market.
ICQ,AIM,MSN,JABBER,Bitwise,Yahoo Messenger ..... and the list just goes on..
I only use icq because most of my friends use it.. i don't see myself running 4 different i'm software's or even adding protocol plugins to my miranda im, one is enough |

i use yahoo and msn just because those are the 2 that my gaming clan uses. Other than that if google comes out with GIM then i will use that one from then on...plus less spam i believe
