Technology for a Better World Part II

Though Google's not the first to do it, this is going to rock the globe, man. You have no idea how cool it makes me feel to know that even though it officially launched today, I've been using this program for a few weeks already.

While the technology may be great and wonderful and streamlined and all, do we truly need yet another IM community?

P.S. Have you selected your next domain name registrar yet?

You geeks disgust me.

This is Monitor Heaven.

Yahoo has a similar program. I just don't have any online friends to use it with! :(

I just realized that I'll have to buy a microphone for my PC to use this.

Deduct 100 geek points from me, now.

Yep, I have. I won't say it here however because it's a popular competitor. I own around 36 domains, so it's a slow process transferring them all over.

Alex, how can you not?? You should get one of those head mikes. They make you feel like an air traffic controller.

Just installed it. Its cool I can now use it to watch my gmail account. But I refuse to get REAL excited until I can make a phone call with thing.

PS they should have made a mac version.

The call function's pretty cool. It comes in handy especially for chat clarification.

PS they should have made a mac version.

In the interim, Mac users can use other IM clients like iChat or GAIM (I'm a big fan of GAIM BTW) but I don't think it has talk capabilities.

Hi Ambra!! I 'm not a blogger or even really tech savvy but someone recently told me about your site and I've been reading almost daily. If you're interested in a quick laugh today, check out www.gizoogle.com and let me know what you think. Take care.

My brother showed that to me...I think I'd only use it for seeing if I had any Gmail...I already have Yahoo messenger. Like Ontario Emperor said, who needs another IM community?

Hi there?

Any complaints about the software?
