Voice Mail?

My co-host Kreg Steppe from one of my other podcasts, Technorama noticed something odd.

He went to create a new label in Gmail called “VoiceMail” and it came back and said that it was a reserved system label (much like creating one called Inbox).

Does this suggest that Gmail is going to provide a way to archive Google Talk voice mail at some point in the future? Hmmm…

The buzz today is that Gmail will be integrating Google Talk (GTalk, their IM and VoIP chat program). There is already a “chats” link on the left. The help screen shows a “Quick Contacts” on the left also.

Keep your eyes out! If the feature is implemented in the next day or two you can expect the podcast to be about it this weekend.
