Thats impossible, Google is too late.

Was thinking about it yesterday, since they came in and stormed everything internet related, how come they dont have their own messenger style program? And I check ur blog and voila! I have to disagree with u about penetrating MSN and Yahoo communities, I think it will surpass both with time. I knew that was coming!
