The "Quick Reply" bar is basically an instant messaging interface.

    Google Talk, Google Chat, Google Huddle… Some of them even integrated with Gmail.

    Seems like a dumb idea to try again, when already established chat systems that won’t vanish in a year exist.

          No, it came after Google Talk (XMPP) and was in fact based on the same protocol. The new thing it brought was live updates, so you could see other people typing, and it also had different types of content, not just text.

      Hangouts still works. I believe it’s their longest running chat app.
