ppl those of u tried the google grp chat feature pls tell us how it works
doesnt seem to be working properly for me!

also doesnt it look a bit odd that say i am chatting with ABC and then ABC can invite XYZ for that chat thereby converting a 1 on1 chat to grp chat and i really have no control over the whole thing say if i dont want XYZ to come in i cant do anything rite?
what say?

woo man why are you complicating things so much,... if you don't wanna chat with the third person then why the second person will invite him/her ??!!

you will however get the intimation that 3rd person has joined the conversation
so you can leave that session...or launch a new session with the 2nd person alone and bang him....
