More friends are more fun. Gmail welcomes your AIM® friends.

Now you can talk to your AIM® friends using an integrated chat list right inside Gmail.

What’s been keeping us busy…
Ever since we launched Gmail, we’ve been working hard to make it better. Here are a few of the features we’ve added:

Colored labels:
Better organize your email with new colored labels. Just click the color swatch next to each label to assign a color.

Chat just got better with group chat and new emoticons

Group chat
Chat with multiple people without multiple windows. Invite your friends to a group discussion. To start a group chat, click ‘Group chat’ from the ‘Options’ menu when chatting.

New emoticons
Go from : ) to :) and start sending richer expressions to your friends.

Features like rich emoticons, group chat are already their in yahoo chat since ages, but coloured labels will definetly make life easier.
A welcome move by Google.

I'm sorry I do not mean to be angry, but if you or anyone else do not have contacts on AIM this new feature will not be useful. I just stated it as a fact, no offense meant
