The Search Engine & co might have missed the target, as published reports of the fourth quarter witness. The censor agreement signed with the Chinese government might have disappointed many people. Anyway, Google still owns it all.
Checking my mails this morning on Gmail, I noticed the Gtalk integration to the pages. A few minutes ago, I checked it out with a friend. How sweet it is! you don't need to install any software on your machine (no Java, no applications at all), your contacts are loaded on the left side of your email listing and you can see whether they are on or offline. As you double click on a contact, a layer appears in the window, with a chat box in it.. You can now read your mails while chatting, using your web browser only.
Some other features such as "minimize the chat window" and "pop out the chat window" make it more enjoyable.
Gmail uses Ajax to implement the webmail, thus a perfect example of what is doable with this technique..
Some dinosaurs should better be afraid of Google..rising..rising..
Are you still not using Gmail??? Shame on you!

I found a site with a nice demo of AJAX, it's incredible : www.bindows.net
But it seems to have some problems with Firefox for the moment, with IE it works great.
