Gmail is My AIM

Written by Pacdan

I actually had cause to use the new integrated AIM client that rests in the Gmail inbox. I had it all set up before, but had never actually received a message in it. It’s a serious case of neat concept but completely impractical. I guess it works for short conversation, but in all reality it is far from an efficient way to IM someone. It does mean I’m online a little more often, so people will stop nagging me about never being online, even though I have it perpetually set to “Away” even when I’m not (prepares for obligatory joke about me not having friends).
