Gmail with Status Stream Update Coming Soon…
The Wall Street Journal reports Google will launch shortly the status update feature within Gmail. Status here, should read Twitter-like, not status as available, busy,.. which has been available for sometime.
The prompt reads, "let people know what you’re up to, or share links to photos, videos, and Web pages." and the new feature will "allow Gmail users to view a stream of status updates from people they choose to connect with." It will be tightly integrated with Google’s video-sharing site YouTube and its photo-sharing site Picasa.
This sounds very familiar with the way Twitter and Facebook operate. Since Gmail has become very popular, its users should have a window open at anytime, adding status stream update makes sense. But I think it is too little too late to join the micro-blogging wave. No API information available at this time.
