I encourage anyone needing to communicate with me to have a free Gmail account. We help each other leverage all the
power of Gmail, Google Chat, Google Talk and Mobile Google communication tools...for Virtual Care!
Google Chat is the Instant Messaging part of GMail. It is accessible from any computer, anywhere, any time.  
Google Talk is the downloadable application (including to a mobile phone such as the new Droid) that completely
integrates to all the features of Gmail and GChat from any device.
