My 2 cents on Gtalk-Gmail

Lately got into habit of critically comparing products I use. Case in point is gtalk and yahoo chat clients.
G-talk I felt also lagging in terms of some of the features like "show me recent conversations". Its a high time folks at Google should come up with something as base functionality is now already assumed and well digested. Now we want next course on our plate!
We share so many urls / links among the close group of people. Why not Gmail provide a way to access all those in one place. It can be a list of links shared with columns like who send it, when, etc... Same can be done by finding out phone no.s, and attachments. We are moving towards an era wherein Gmail is our Online Any Time accessible place for storing document and communication.

I have seen lot of people using it to work on doc partly at work and later imparting finishing touches at home using Google doc.s. Now unless you convert consciously each attached doc into a Google document it wont let you collaboratively edit it. It should be done by default for every document that comes as an attachment.

And above all...when are we going to have the tabbed interface for mails...
