Rumours are that google would soon integrate its Google Talk instant messaging and VOIP service into Orkut. Apparently, google talk and Orkut development teams are busy putting the finishing touches on the integration. The announcement will likely be made sometime next week.

This would mean orkut members will be able to text message and voice chat with other members of the community if they choose to communicate in that way and not scrap each other. In other words, this means that orkuters would no longer have to keep asking each other in scraps for IM ids to make their conversations private and one to one.

I wrote about yahoo mail beta yesterday. Well my yahoo account is still to get the mails. Its more than 24 hours and the transfer engine is still to put a mail in the folders it created yesterday. Anyways yahoo mail doesn’t have the flexibility of gmail.
1. There is no chat feature. In gmail you can reply via chat
2. You can share calender and excel sheets online
3. Extra storage
4. All google services could be clubbed together
