Gmail is set to become Google’s next major push into social media. According to The Wall Street Journal, the popular webmail service will soon launch a new feature for sharing content and status updates with friends.
As WSJ points out, Gmail users can already update their statuses — sort of — through Gmail’s chat feature. Currently, this feature is more akin to the traditional IM “away message.” However, with this new social push, Gmail will offer a timeline-view of your friends’ status updates, just like on Facebook and Twitter.

First they buy a Super Bowl ad and now this? Google doesn't need to enter this space, having a status update in your GMail makes no sense.

Trying to keep up with Facebook, and I don't think it'll work.

I don't think this will take off. There's already too much competition and patterns with Facebook and Twitter.
