Over at the Google Blog today they’ve announced new file transfer capabilities in iGoogle and orkut. That’s fun! But what I’m most excited about is their promise of file transfer in Gmail. More »
Later today, Google’s pulling Gmail, Google Talk, Calendar and Docs out of beta. Not because of major new updates or anything, but to make business customers happy. [TechCrunch]
Google today rolled out a Labs feature that allows you to quickly send SMS messages via Gchat–perfect for continuing to antagonise your contacts with your witty links well after they leave their computer.
Those of you who use Gchat through Gmail can now send text messages to mobile phones. The function is experimental, so you have to go to the Labs tab inside of Gmail’s settings (or click on that little green flask icon) to turn it on. Your messages will appear as a 406 number–once you’ve sent a text through gmail, that’ll be your specific number. AIM’s had this feature for a while, so it’s not surprising that Google would implement it as well. Text your friends! See how it goes! [Webmonkey]
