Dear folks,
Myself(S. Prasanna Venkadesh <http://prasopensource.wordpress.com>) and
S.Sathianarayanan(http://sathia27.wordpress.com/) has created a terminal
application called WHIZ-CHAT - through wh application caich Debian / Ubuntu
Linux users can do the following on their Google account from terminal
itself:
1. Login and set Status Message.
2. Check number of Unread Mails.
3. Chat with the contacts in your Gmail Account.
4. Get voice notifications.
Here is our page that consists of the source code (
https://github.com/PrasannaVenkadesh/Whiz-Chat/downloads), and i request to
take a look at "README.txt & features.rdoc " file before running for first
time.
Inspiration:
Most of the linux users spends time either in Web-Browser or in Terminal,
and we were thinking how nice it would be if we are able to chat from
terminal itself instead of opening a Web-browser. This saves your processor
from consuming more power (since no GUI), Faster than Web-browser, and
especially for those who use internet via mobile phone would love it
because using internet from mobile and opening Gmail account takes nearly
10 min and our app log in into your chat box in just 10 seconds (Max.).
This was our inspiration to develop this and future versions will be still
more better.
And we love any sort of feedback from you.

Regards,
Prasanna Venkadesh
