Living in a new country challenges you. First you want to keep in touch with your friends and of course still want to keep up with your emails and stuff. I love any google products in general but my favorite one by far is gmail.com. Basically I live on gmail. I am singned in 24/7. It provides me my two priority activities: chat and email at the same time.
However when you have other things to do (like working, studying, etc.) switching among windows and tabs to see your chat can be annoying and time wasting. So I googled if there any kind of experimented app or add-in or something like that. One year ago I installed an add-in I do not remember the name but it made me enable to have my chat always in the right bottom corner regardless what I am watching/doing or being currently at.
A week ago google launched its updated google hangouts app and extension on normal computers. This is my real solution!
It combines chat and skype together. All of my contacts show up in a list and i can start a conversation by clicking on them. It is nothing crazy right? But then you can just call them and share screens/chat/webcam/connect google drive/etc. This is a real ultimate office tool for free! You can create hangouts forming a group of many-many people.
Just click on the green bubble next to your URL bar. And start your hangout anywhere you are.
I love this!
Thank you, google!
This is really interesting- I always think about how I can better integrate all of the applications I use. Does it incorporate both mobile devices and PC's? It seems like a great solution since I am sure on a personal level most of us use applications like Skype, but for work, many of us use Microsoft Lync or other work- related tools.
