Gmail introduce SMS chat

The feature is available only in the United States for now. To use it, people must first enable it through Gmail Labs, then they can initiate SMS-based instant message chats by typing in a phone number in the chat box on the left of the Gmail page.
People who receive SMS messages from the service will get a return phone number from the 406 area code, which Dirac was happy to point out spells G0.

Each pairing uses a unique phone number, so a person receiving messages can store a the 406 phone number on his or her phone for future use to communicate with that specific person.

But these substitutions can be effective when combined with other measures, such as length, misspellings, or variations in case, to improve the strength of your password. • Avoid your login name. Any part of your name, birthday, social security number, or similar information for your loved ones constitutes a bad password choice. T...
