Google is adding another tool to its communications suite: Gmail Chat, an integrated IM client that works without leaving Gmail. The rollout starts after midnight Feb. 7 with completion slated by month’s end. I’m not trying to stretch too much here but it occurs to me that this places a chat function within ad-supported Gmail as opposed to the ad-less Google Talk. Also, given that Gmail continues to be glitchy, performance could be an issue.
