Google may be readying unified messaging service called Babble

When we first saw this icon, it was in regards to Chrome OS. The icon had popped up for some Chrome OS users who were on the dev channel, but it was unclear exactly what it was. From the icon alone, it seemed to be a unified messaging service, and new reports say that's exactly what it is. Apparently, Google might be getting ready to release a unified messaging service, called Babble...

O RLY??? Finally!! Maybe that's why nothing new has come of Google Voice in over 1.5 years

Don't get too excited. There's no indication that Voice is a part of Babble.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking... If everything's color coded, where's the white speech bubble with blue receiver in this new icon...?
Even if not though, it's a step in the right direction.

Google+ is great communities and just more substance then facebook

I actually REALLY like G+ compared to FB.
Google needs to truly integrate G+ into Android to the point it is in the foundation of Anroid. Getting people from FB to G+ as their primary source of social media will be a daunting task but I think it's completely possible if they become aggresive and shove down the Android user's throat.

I can't rate an App and leave a comment without leaving my real name and possibly my photo through G+. I get a static useless top icon in the drop down list in JB with my name on it, because of this deeper integration of G+.Why would i want deeper G+ integartion into Android?

the only problem is we have to get everyone off facebook and put them on google+. but agreed, so much better than facebook

I find G+ better than Facebook. It's just that the people aren't there..

Bulls**t they aren't, son.
Check out "What's Hot" (on the app) or "Explore" (on laptop/desktop). You'll find plenty of activity.

He means HIS people aren't there. Yes, G+ has plenty of strangers and tech geeks that hate Facebook there, but Google toutes G+ as connecting with YOUR friends, not strangers. That's what Twitter is for. LOL

...They do know that Babble is also kinda the name of an adult hookup site, right?

This is amazing news! To be honest the only thing I love about iOs is iMessage. To be honest it's fantastic, really quick and much better than standard SMS. Been waiting for this for a long time!
Plus my Galaxy Nexus would literally take 48 hours even longer some times sending MMS. Could never figure that out.

This is pretty much necessary.
Also, a unified Android messaging app needs to be made. Email, text, and whatever the heck Google is working on in one app.
