Ever since Google rolled out the personalized home page called, iGoogle and its very own social networking service, Orkut, both the services have seen a tremendous influx of users, of whom many now have become hardcore Orkut users and cherish the service more than any other on the web.

Even though Facebook might have edged out the competition, yet, in the Indian subcontinent, Orkut is still considered to be one of the foremost services to get in touch with your family and friends and explore new content via other user. iGoogle on the other hand is a user’s one stop page for all the latest news, views, horoscopes and other vital information that almost everyone requires before they begin their day.

Now, understanding the importance of both Orkut and iGoogle and also the fact that, many users benefit from the embedded chat engines in both these service, Google has now announced the introduction of the ever useful ‘File Transfer’ feature in the chat engines of these services. This particular feature works exactly like it does in Google Talk, where in the users are able to share files ranging from documents to multimedia with their contacts, simply with the click of a mouse. Furthermore, the file transfer feature is expected to be embedded in Gmail as well, in a short span of time.
