I was there when it was invite only, child. They used to have an IM chat too.
Google still has a chat embedded in Gmail, but because Google is grotesquely incompetent they've never succeeded in making a good messaging service. I think they've had like 15, but they are too fucked up to just make one work.

One of the things I bring up if someone says "we should run the government like a business"
Man I completely forgot Gmail chat existed, and I used it for a while quite regularly.
Oh shit yeah! I remember begging a friend who got one to send me an invite. Didnt you only get like 3 invites to begin with or something?
I wanna say it was more than that, I don't remember the number but I remember saying "damn that's a lot." I wanna say it was maybe like 10?
It was 10 yep.
Fair enough i thought they started at 3 and then bumped it up later
