It's called a 'Private Message'. Seems to be misusing the word private.

The gmail analogy is a little off, a closer one would be to compare to gtalk. Do google scan gtalk messages?

Also what if the message is "This is so crap: <link>" does that increase the like?

Unless you specifically select "Go off the record" I strongly suspect that they do.


Since they show up in gmail while you're "on the record", I would assume so.


Wouldn't Facebook chat be the right comparison for gchat?
