Looks like Google will be developing a “communications tool.”

In an article in the NY Times:

Google executives say they plan to unveil on Wednesday a “communications tool” that is potentially a clear step beyond the company’s search-related business focus.

While executives would not disclose what the new software tool might be, Google has long been expected to introduce an instant messaging service to compete with services offered by America Online, Yahoo and MSN from Microsoft.

It is unclear what “communications tool” means but it might be an IM client. This has been speculated about for years and, given this article about the stickiness IM creates, it may not be such a surprise…then there is also the possibility of having Google’s free wireless network.

Guess we can only wait and see now. Speculation from paid content.
