There are quite a few of these avatar 3d chat rooms around now, I doubt this one from Google will get that far.

I don't know, Google is one of the big boys when it comes to search, email and advertising; who's to say this service won't take off? If it's got some innovative features and is reliable like every other service Google offers there's every chance it'll work and take off.

I wonder how much this is costing them?

Sorry, can't use it. Only supports Windows.
What about us Ubuntu users? I doubt Wine will work.
I guess eventually they will make it work on multiple OSes.

It looks quite fun, and I'm sure lots of people will like it. at this rate, soon Google will be doing everything.

Looks a bit like IMVU, but more of Google's style

What's up with this, it is almost like a game as you chat.

But imagine if they integrate this with Google maps...then you can virtually visit a place. For example, maybe chat with a business rep before you go on a job interview.

hehe, imagine doing that and visiting the Google headquarters
