Musings, Technology and The Gospel
Just read about a new Google Chat option that I think is pretty sweet. You can now embed a widget on a blog that will allow ANYONE, even those without Google accounts to chat with you. I have embedded one on my blog, so feel free to chat with me. 
Uses for church? Could be used by missionaries as another communication method. Mostly I just think it is cool.

Jeff,
Being more of a MS fan than a Google fan I thought I would comment that for Windows Live Messenger this has been available for 3 or 4 months now (they are on the second rev already).
