Google Brings Audio/Video Chat Support to Ubuntu and Debian
Full chat support across Google services
For awhile, Linux users have had to endure a lack of video and audio chat support from Google and its host of Web services. But for some users, that issue has been addressed by Google itself.
Debian and Ubuntu users got a treat today, as Google extended video and voice chat support to the two flavors of Linux. The voice and video chat plug-in adds video and audio support to Gmail, iGoogle, and Orkut.
While this isn't useful news to IRC fans, the inclusion of video/audio chat support makes both Ubuntu and Debian more user-friendly to end users, a market Ubuntu has targeted. Here's the link to the plug-in.
