Google’s unified chat service to be named “Babel”, seamless integration across five platforms

We’ve heard many reports over the past week about Google’s upcoming unified chat service and some screenshots leaked which were unfortunately fake. Now thanks to some trusted sources, “Babble” will actually be named “Babel”. This name could just be internally and the new messenger service will work seamlessly across Chrome, Google+, Gmail, Android, and iOS.

Google Voice wasn’t mentioned, but we shouldn’t count it out completely. Here are the features that Google is touting:

• Access the same conversation list from anywhere
• A new, conversation-based UI
• Advanced group conversations
• Ability to send pictures
• Improved notifications across devices

As far as how the tech giant came up with the name, there are different meanings. Obviously, the first meaning that comes to mind is from the Bible. There is also the 2006 movie “Babel” featuring Brad Pitt. Towards the end of the movie, four interlocking stories are all connected by a single phone call. However, Google may have a roadblock in their path. A site named Babel currently exists and allows users to chat with others around the world.
Google could face issues moving forward with the name, but as far as the word Babel being trademarked, according to the United States Patent and Trademark Office website, the trademark was abandoned on November 2, 2009.
With Google I/O just months away, we should hear more details soon.
