I kind of like the chat feature built in.  You can "IM" other gmailers.  It
also supports traditional IM now also.

Yes, that's Google Talk.

It's just an XMPP (Jabber) IM network. Google runs their own separate XMPP network, but any XMPP/Jabber client can connect to the Google Talk network (or alternately the original Jabber network.)

There are a lot of good things about open protocol instant messaging using XMPP/Jabber. And there are a lot of good clients for many operating systems available.
