Innovation in Gmail

Over on ZDNet, Garet Rogers has discovered javascript that suggests Google is going to be adding domain functionality to the popular email client Gmail.
This is hot on the heels of the discussion we had the other day after I asked: Why Not a Paid Version of Gmail?. Our discussion centered included the question: what else could you add to Gmail?
So the answer is Yes. Here’s another significant feature you could add, in addition to the Gtalk integration just announced.
And it’s all free. For now.
Check out my latest project: Make them Care!, a book on designing great sign-up experiences. Get reminded when it's published.

Could you explain what ‘domain’ functionality is? domain name or aliases? or something else. Very curious about this – thanks.

Thanks anon (whoever you are).
Here’s a link to Google’s own page about the service (not the blog post pointed to above)

Just think about it. Corporate Gmail and now with built in IM, could it follow with built in VOIP, voice messaging, voice history. Opening the door for Open Office integration in to the work ‘domain’.
