Article Surfing ArchiveGoogle - The Next Step In IM - Articles SurfingAs Google keeps on expanding, it was only a matter of time before they entered the IM arena. Although there have been several rumours regarding the acquisition of Jabber by Google, it is now more likely that they will acquire Meetro from Meetroduction. Meetro is a location-aware networking software, the main objective of which is to find people in the "real world" that are close by to hang out with. In their own words at Meetro's website: "Technically speaking, Meetro is radius and proximity based software. Untechnically speaking, it finds like-minded people around you instantly. Wherever you are. So whether you*re in-town or out of town, Meetro gets you on the town with old friends or new acquaintances." Through the software, you can locate people that are online, but within a certain radius. That means that they are online, and close to you, making it easier to connect and meet up with that person. Of course, having more products and services to offer, will allow Google to create a type of *user loyalty* from users that now use Yahoo, MSN or other IM applications for chatting, thus also having more ways of creating exposure to ads.
