<p>Last week it was revealed that Google was working on a new Notification Center for its Chromium Browser, and now we're getting a look at what rich notifications might look like in Chrome OS and a unified messaging inbox may be in the cards. The image, revealed by developer Francois Beaufort, shows what appear to be alerts from Google+ and both voice and messaging services. Aesthetically, it's close to the kind of design we currently see in Google Now, and would give Chrome OS users a quick and easy way to manage all of their interactions from one simple pane of pop-ups.</p><p>There's also one other intriguing element in the image: a new icon pinned to the bottom of the screen. With a wink and a nod, Beaufort says he doesn't know what the icon is for, but the stack of multi-colored chat bubbles seems to point to some sort of communications client. Between the likes of Google Voice, Talk, Messenger, Gmail, and Google+, users of Google's services have a handful of different places to send and receive messages, and bringing them under one roof particularly in Google's own OS would make for a very interesting proposition.</p><p><a href="http://www.theverge.com/2013/2/4/3952468/chrome-os-unified-messaging-center-potentially-revealed-in-new-image">Keep reading...</a></p><p>Read also:</p><p><a href="http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/04/rich-notifications-chrome-os/">Rich notifications for Chrome OS, possible unified messaging app break cover</a> (Engadget)</p><p><a href="http://www.droid-life.com/2013/02/04/is-this-the-icon-for-a-new-all-in-one-messaging-service-from-google/">Is This the Icon for a New All-in-One Messaging Service From Google?</a> (Droid Life)</p><p><a href="http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/49690/google-working-on-unified-messaging-platform">Google working on a unified messaging platform?</a> (Pocket-lint.com)</p><p>Explore: <a href="http://news.google.com/news/more?ncl=dybEcSr671dm-GMYJxG-uVwI3jg7M&ned=us">8 additional articles.</a></p>
