Integration of Gmail and Gtalk
A while back, a friend of mine begged and pleaded with me to download gtalk, google's answer to IM programs such as AIM and MSN. A first I thought very little of it, thinking that this was in no way going to be able to replace my AIM account.

However, very recently, Gmail and Gtalk were integrated into each other, with people allowing to message others online through the Gmail and having Gtalk conversations saved on your Gmail account. I also now get notifications on when I get new emails through Gtalk. Suddenly, I now see the genius of these programs, allowing me to have instant desktop notifications of new emails and having a web based way to communicate with other Gtalk users and look back on any conversation through Gmail. I truthfully keep Gtalk open all the time now, because all the people who use Gmail that are in my mailing list have been added to it for chat and it tells me when I get new e-mail instantly.

Has anyone else had such a wonderful experience with the intergration of these two communication tools?
