Google Babel in Gmail
As Droid Life previously reported, Google already tests Babel, an unified messaging service that combines Google Talk, Gmail Chat, Google+ Messenger. There's a Gmail page that mentions "dogfooding Babel in Gmail" and it's supposed to be available only to Google employees.
"Upgrade Chat to Babel! Babel is Google's new messenger with clients for Android, iOS, Chrome, Google+ and Gmail. Access the same conversation list from anywhere!" That's how Google describes the new service.
"Some of the new features:
* A new, conversation-based UI
* Advanced group conversations
* Send pictures
* Improved notifications across devices."
It looks like you can go back to the Gmail Chat interface: "You're about to revert the Babel chat client to the old Gmail chat client. You can always opt in back from the chat roster menu."
Here's a screenshot (it's this image):

Reply DeleteJust not too keen on the name though. Babel? To me,it seems to demean the function.
Reply DeleteAny news when will be available
Reply DeleteI too dislike the name “Babel”. Also, the lack of status icons concerns me.
Reply Deletehttp://support.google.com/babel -> "The requested URL /babel?hl=en was not found on this server. That's all we know."

Reply DeleteI do not understand what is the point of brand new chat product.
Reply DeleteGoogle Talk/Chat uses industry standard XMPP protocol. All they need to do is create new good clients for all platformat...Why reinvent the wheel?
:/
my understanding is it is NOT a new chat product, yet a unification of all the existing chat services google provides. So not really "re-inventing the wheel" as opposed to cleaning that wheel up.
DeleteI fear the worst that this is going to suck like the new todo list keep. Stop making new products with stupid names. Just fix the products you have.
Reply DeleteI agree with mxx. I didn't get the benefit of new project. I already have the same contact list for gmail chat, google talk, etc.
Reply DeleteI'm still using the good old google talk client for Windows. Why on earth they stopped developing it?
I miss wave so much, hope this lean to that side.
Reply DeleteToo excited for Babel hope its everything I have waited for.
