IM in the browser

Finally! Removed all my IM desktop clients! The reason is that imo.im released Chrome extension. Now all my chats are in the browser. The extension is not perfect there is some stuff missing like view history (which can be done in imo.im site), text that is written and not send disappear when extension window is closed and few more but i hope so that in next versions will add many features.

And here is the link to the extension: http://goo.gl/7bZb 

Google Chrome - Translate Extension (with Google Translate)

Really great extension for Chrome - Bubble translate. Bubble translate uses Google translate to translate text that is selected. 
After extension is installed option page is opened where can be sett default language for translation, bubble color for translated text and shortcut for trigger translating. To translate text first must be pressed shortcut combination (Alt+Ctrl for example) and then to select text. After this bubble with translation will appear above selection.

Google Chrome and IM

Just spotted that in http://www.chromeextensions.org/ are available 2 new extensions for Google Crome - Facebook Chat and Gtalk Chat . And in the light of ChromeOS this is fantastic features. I hope so that before Chrome OS is out already Goole Chrome to have the panel functionality already. With panels chat inside the browser will be amazing. I already abandon desktop clients for chat with using of imo.im but i'm happy to use chats in extentions
