This morning, I noticed that Gmail’s chat system has group chat feature now. Some people would call that “Conversation”. Unfortunately, I have set my chats to not sign in automatically because I am always too busy to chat. Another new feature they added is the rich smiley – with faces and everything.
Well, like I said, I no longer use chat anywhere so I can test this out. Even when I was using Gmail’s chat in my inbox, I was finding it distracting until I ended up taking way too much time just to reply a couple of emails.
It’s not only about Gmail chat, though. I have retired from chatting online for a couple of years now and some people even thought something has happened to me and they wanted to report to the police. Haha!
They could always reach me by phone. If you are so inclined, try out Gmail’s group chat and see if it’s comparable to other instant messaging systems.
