Google introduces group chat and new emoticons in GMail chat

Google has introduced group chat in it's GMail chat tool (Google Talk via GMail). It lets you chat with more than one buddy at a time. There's no limit to the number of people you can chat with, and any participant can invite others to join. To get started:

  1. Start a chat with a single person in your Contacts list.
  2. Once you've started the chat, click Options at the bottom left of your chat window and select Group Chat.
  3. In the field labeled 'Add a person to this chat,' enter the name of the contact(s) you want to add to your group chat.
  4. To end your chat, click the X at the corner of the chat window. Others
    in the group chat will get a message saying that you've left the
    conversation.

Google has also introduced new emoticons which are more graphical than the symbols. You can click on the small smiley icon at the bottom of the chat window to select the emoticon you want.
