The Wall Street Journal reports that Google will tomorrow announce more “social” features to Gmail, such as status updates and sharing content. Considering that Gmail is a primary, free email service, this is a really great innovation for consumers. It also threatens dominant, dedicated social networks like Facebook and Twitter unless they too can be integrated into the Gmail social streams. Hopefully they will be.

By leveraging GOGII's interactive messaging technology, textPlus allows both old-style texting - one-to-one conversations - and next generation texting - rich, engaging environments and instant group text conversations. A useful 'reply-all' feature, similar to email, turns texting into a chatroom that lets users make plans with several friends at once, introduce people to one another or just carry on a group conversation - all in text and all for free.
It's about time texting became social and FREE.
