Dear folks,> Linux users can do the following on their Google account from terminal

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.

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
from consuming more power (since no GUI), Faster than Web-browser, andstill
especially for those who use internet via mobile phone would love it

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
more better.
And we love any sort of feedback from you.
Super. Congrats.

Thanks for your suggestion and just now looked on the Google API for ruby
Also I believe using Google API is neat because these days everyone
has a Gmail account.
I have to accept here i am not aware of UNIX usernames. You mean internal
However this should also work with UNIX usernames.
That is my idea. Sorry for hijacking the thread.
Best of luck and may God bless you with success.
