Recently I logged into Gmail to find that there was a new Group Chat option available. "Group Chat?!" I thought. I tested it out with a friend and it worked great... But how many people could fit into a single chat? We immediately set out on a goal of trying to get 100 people in a single chat. We quickly realized that this would be very hard. So we changed our goal to fifty people. Each person who joined the chat was encouraged to fire off invitations to all their friends. 802 lines of chat later (and an extremely complicated conversation that was near impossible to follow) we succeeded in bringing 51 people in the single chat at a single time. Upon surpassing the goal of 50, the group chat cheered with rapid consecutive congratulations and then... suddenly, there was a mass exodus. Gmail is rockin'.
