Gmail To Launch Its Own Twitter Like Service

Google is organizing an event to announce a new service today at 10 AM PST. The service / tool will enable users to view status updates and shared links from their friends inside Gmail.

The new feature will allow news feed of sorts to the Gmail webmail client which will help users keep up with the activities of their contacts coming from Gmail itself, other Google services, YouTube and Picasa for example, but also third-party services.

The new Google Service will also allow them to post status updates and share content through Gmail. The webmail client already has a limited status update tool of sorts for the integrated chat.

There are also talks of Twitter making their way into Gmail. Google already has an agreement with Twitter and integrates tweets into search. You might soon be able to link Google account to your Twitter one and have your stream pulled and displayed in Gmail.
