Doesn't matter what the official name was, what everyone called it was GChat or Google Chat.


The official name matters when trying to distinguish between Google Talk and Google Chat.


I'd argue the official name de facto doesn't matter when there's been 5+ names for it in the last decade and nobody can keep track of it. Vast majority use it via their phones or in-browser GMail, I suspect.

(On topic: I use it with pidgin still though for the one-on-one chats with a few people!)
