I didn't know Google had a Chat program!

After exploring on the net (via Google of coarse) I stumbled across an article on the Search Engine Position which mentioned this neat feature about Hello.

Hello is an application which does a couple of neat things. First, it allows you to easily publish your images to your blogger blog. In other words, if you have a blog on blogger (Also owned by Google), with a simple click or two in Hello you can publish your pictures.

Now here's the best part. You remember how I said at the beginning of the article that there has been lots of speculation on Google's future, now that the company has gone public? Well, Hello also has a chat feature. That means you can converse with your friends much like you do with MSN messenger or Yahoo! messenger. Google now has its own chat.

I am already testing it out and it is great! It is not as advanced as Yahoo or MSN...at least not yet but it would be cool if the Google Community had the Hello feature in here as well. I personally find Hello easier to use on my machine than the other IM clients (by the way I am working on a machine with WinME...hopefully I will get enough money to buy a dell or maybe a Mac).

So if anyone wants to chat through Hello, my name is HiddenNook. Selah!

PS

Another interesting article that briefly mentions this is News.com. Selah!

Unfortunately Hello can only talk to other hello users. I would recommend getting Trillian if you want to save on bandwidth. Hello may also not be suitable for you...yet.
