hey Google define Babel all right then this is Google Babel explained hey what's up guys I'm QB HD here and let's say I get a Google Talk message on my phone my android phone as I'm walking into my apartment I answer the message and I start having a conversation with this person and then I put my phone down and I'm done with the conversation and then I open up my tablet and I have a new notification an unread message but I already read that message it's already completed the conversation on my phone that's fine I swipe to clear that message but then I go back to my computer and I have a gmail tab open and I have another unread notification from Google Talk of the same completed conversation that is just one of the problems Google has with their messaging platform it's a real problem right now is that Google has multiple chat services multiple messaging and instant messaging services and that's the real problem is because they don't talk to each other their notifications don't sync you can read a conversation on one and you have to pick every single time you want to chat with someone how you want to communicate with them do you want to use Google Talk do you want to use a Google Voice do you want to use Google+ Messenger do you want to use Gmail what do you want to use you want to use a Google+ Hangout how do you communicate with this person it's a bit of a mess right now so babble is the expected service that Google will use to essentially brand these all into one social messaging platform that basically replaces all the ones that currently exist it's a pretty smart idea it may seem like a minor thing but I'm expecting this to be a pretty solid thing pretty big chunk of what Google talks about at Google i/o this year in 2013 so what's that well gonna be like what are the features going to be like well the number one expected feature is it's going to have a unified user interface across every single platform so it's kind of a mess already right now for example with Google Talk you notice the way it looks on the desktop you use a Google Talk conversation in Google Plus it'll have a direct link to a hangout and it'll have a bunch of different Google+ related things but if you use it in a Gmail tab it looks different from that and if you use it on your Android phone it looks even different from that and also knows Google+ Messenger is totally separate randomly inside of the Google+ app tucked away in there doesn't talk to any other services for some reason so they all look different and they all don't talk to each other so Google babble along with unifying all the different messaging services into one core service it'll all look the same so you know it's the same service number two is that everything is expected to sync and talk to each other so babble on every single platform will notify itself and if you pick up a conversation on your tablet the notification will disappear from every other device that you own that has Babylon number three expect video chat expect Google+ Hangouts to be very tightly integrated and expect your whole Google+ account to be very tightly integrated into the service after all it is Google making it and Google already has a pretty good idea of how to build and integrate things with each other that it already controls so expect Google+ Hangouts expect a button inside of Babel to directly take you to a video chat that will end up being a Google+ Hangout in fact it might even be called Google+ Babel but I wouldn't put money on that but it again expect the chat hangout feature to be there and lastly number four expect a bunch of little improvements for example in the clients we use today like Google Talk and Google+ messenger there are a bunch of little hiccups and quirks with for example group messaging so expect some improvements there there is also said to be more than 800 emojis and emoticons so sources close to it are pretty confident this is going to be a pretty well built system and also things like sending pictures and maybe videos and small files the way you can with Skype now so it's really taking on the bulk of all the different services we have today all at once now Babel will be most successful and be able to separate itself from other services similar to this which I'll get to in a second if it's available everywhere and Google's pretty good at that right now it kind of covers all its bases even though they don't overlap but if Babel is available everywhere we can expect to see it right off the bat in iOS on Android with a chrome app with a Windows app with an OS 10 app and with a web app and that way it'll pretty much cover the majority of people who are going to be using the service there's no talk really about a BlackBerry OS or Windows Phone app yet but hey you never know if that could be a priority later now Google's not blind to the competition what is the difference between this and I message because I messages basically apples equivalent of this well the main difference is its availability right now I can't use iMessage if I don't have a Mac or some sort of iOS device so if you have an iPad or an iPhone or Mac you can use iMessage and talk to your other friends who have those same devices but there's no web client so your Windows buddies won't be able to talk to you on iMessage and it kind of talks to your SMS as well so that's nice if you have an iPhone but the idea of babble is to be able to use it everywhere on every single device even if you have a Windows Phone you can go and log into your browser and continue conversations there the same way you'd be able to with Gmail so overall Babel may seem like a minor thing at first but I've gotten so many questions about it that it's turned out to be a pretty major thing in my mind as we approach when can we expect to see it I would expect to see it alongside the next or latest version of Android keelon pie at Google i/o this year so just a couple of weeks away from that and expect it it's pretty much imminent now the almost the name is basically confirmed we've seen leaked screenshots of the user interface and little dialog boxes that have been popping up on people's screens by accidents so it's pretty much confirmed that it's gonna be called Babel bab-ee el so if you guys are wondering it's just around the corner and we should be seeing it sometime very soon so that's it just a quick video talking about Google Babel again if you like videos like this definitely be sure to hit that like button below and the subscribe button if you want to see more and hopefully we'll get some pretty awesome videos coming this week and next there are some awesome awesome videos coming up I can just tell you that guarantee it either way thanks for watching and I'll talk to you guys in the next one pace and view on bonus points Google through our chat hits in there
