Does Gmail want to be instant messaging? New UI experiment says “yes”
The "Quick Reply" bar is basically an instant messaging interface.

Google Talk flashbacks anyone?
Google Talk, Google Chat, Google Huddle... Some of them even integrated with Gmail.
Seems like a dumb idea to try again, when already established chat systems that won't vanish in a year exist.
Also Allo, I used to use that app, it was very clean, but no one I talked to heard of it
I feel like everyone who knew enough to know about Allo was also acutely aware that Google would probably kill it, and it would really suck to move friends to an app that’s just gonna join the graveyard with the dozen others
Makes sense, I just got my first android and that happen to be the app that Google was promoting heavily at the time
Hangouts still works. I believe it's their longest running chat app.
Really thought they killed it many years ago.
The story’s older than that:
Google Wave?
