Google Gmail Voice and Video Chat, YES!

Google released its Voice and Video chat today, and our own unscientific tests here at New Media Rights and UCAN show that the audio and video quality easily rivals competing services such as Skype. The biggest difference is that this is Google making a move into the voice and video area and it has the potential to alter the playing field a fair amount.

For those of you who use Gmail, think of how often you use the Gchat feature which allows you to talk to any other gmail user in realtime from within your email. Now add Voice and Video to that service and you have Gmail Voice and Video Chat. With many people and organizations adopting Gmail as their email client, the potential for day to day casual use of video and voice chat beyond the current user base is tremendous. Right now, you can go and download programs like Skype, but Google building a service like this into its email client makes voice and video more readily accessible than ever. We think that's pretty cool.

Scammer using Gmail account to scam people

I received response from one of my adv and find out one scammer email address vet :forrest02"

Google had continued to

Google had continued to grow. They have a nice innovation when they introduced the Gmail voice and video chat. The latest innovation is indeed great! Technology gone far! Same with the medical care program are now introducing the planet hall hospital which is focuses on medical tourism. The industry of medical tourism is a growing one, since the cost of surgery is becoming far too prohibitive for the average person to consider the normal operations. This makes Planet Hospitalan inevitable development.
