Did you notice a new link in your Gmail today? Gmail Chats is a new feature that has just been added to the Gmail web email service. You don’t need to download any software in order for this to work. You will soon see a new list of contacts, called "Quick Contacts" (anyone seeing this already?), and clicking on these contacts will start an IM session. The IM sessions will then open up in the browser, and both IE and Firefox are supported, with other browser support coming soon. For voice chats, you will still need to use the Google Talk application. This is EXTREMELY cool.

By the way, if you still don’t have a Gmail account, comment here and I will give you one!
