Meetro

Google's Buying Meetro for IM?

No. Seriously.
Google's buying Meetro, but not for IM. It's more like Orkut, based on community concepts. Although Google has Hello, it's not gonna be an ideal IM protocol/client. Hello is for sharing photos, not chatting.

If Google is really gonna do IM, they should write a Jabber client (or buy one).
Transports are terrific, Jabber/XMPP is XML-based and is superior because the protocol itself is extendable.
