Promotional Rant in Favor of Google Chat

This is my effort to get everyone to convert to Google Chat. It is pretty much the best way to chat with people online. I know we are all familiar and comfortable with AIM (and it's variations), but Google Chat is really quite cool. Here are some reasons why:
1. The emoticons rotate 90 degrees and generally look cooler. Also "<3" turns into an actual heart. An actual pink heart. Not that I really use <3 that much (i.e. at all) when chatting online, but it is fun to watch it turn into a heart.
2. It makes a cool-ish sound when you receive a message.
3. It is run by Google, and one day in the not-too-distant future, Google is going to take over the planet.
4. I can't really think of more reasons, but for some reason I like Google chat a lot.

Okay, that was a lot less convincing than I had intended. Basically, talk to me on GMail. My username is takethesechances@.
