What do you guys think of this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Itc4253kjhwit looks complex...
but real interesting.
Its a nice idea but its way to complex for a simple application.
Basically its Google's "this is our version of Facebook/Windows Live Messenger with extras and add ons.
I do like the way as a company they continue to make new paths forward from an outstanding web browser application to Google Earth to Google Street and now this... popularity will be hard to get for it, as millions of people use FB already, so all they have done really is re-packaged an exisiting idea and added more "google" to it.
It is nice to see more companys sticking the finger to Microsoft thou - love how my image of Google and Yahoo being bigger than them in 10 years continues to florish. :P
