I like to have my Gmail emails and chat messages open in the same window like this Google Chat call out above.

Was one of your 2009 Marketing goals to make mo’ money?  Start using free awesome services like Gmail Chat to make your ‘09 productive and fun! Here are a list of reasons why I love Gmail Chat:

1.) It’s fast, immediate, and efficient

I can reach my Boss Lady or Treatment Specialist quicker via Google chat than sending an email which can be a passive aggressive perpetrator!

2.) It’s fun because it’s OK to use acronyms like u, ur, 4, thx, LMK, and my favorite LOL!

Plus, spelling and grammar mistakes are not that big of deal when using Google Chat (however, don’t abuse this:)

3.) I never get an answer machine on Google Chat!

Chat instead of spending time leaving a message for someone because they are not available when you are.  Google Chat notifies the user when their contacts are available so you don’t have to waste time leaving a message.

4.) $$- I save money on my iPhone plan!

I don’t need an unlimited minutes iPhone plan because I don’t need to use the phone when I have questions or need help, I can just start chatting.
