Thread: Gmail receives Google+ Hangout integration

Google takes one more step in the right direction. This time they integrated own Hangout service into Gmail. Compared to the old video chat feature, based on a communication protocol in peer-to-peer system. From now it uses Google+ Hangouts technology to improve connection quality. This new service allows users to have a chat with Google+ users and take a part in video conferences with up to 9 persons.

Interesting, except I don't know anyone that actually uses Google+
