Anyone on it yet? Anyone need an invite?
Seems interesting so far, the multiple user video chat should be cool.

Whut is it?

 

[Paul B]

Google's version of Facebook, Twitter etc rolled in to one platform, the next best way to slice bread.

 

[NickfromWI]

I've been wanting to try it, so I'd love an invite! nickaraya@gmail.com, please

 

[Paul B]

deal!

 

[MasterBlaster]

We've temporarily exceeded our capacity. Please try again soon.

 

[Paul B]

Methinks you need an invite from a user MB, its still in beta mode, do you have a gmail address?

 

[MasterBlaster]

I have my normal suddenlink email.

butchboyd@suddenlink.net

 

[Thor's Hammer]

I think you need a Gmail account.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Why, those silly bastards!

 

[Al Smith]

What the hell is G-mail ? I know what G spot is but never heard of the other .

 

[MasterBlaster]

You need to get out more, Al. It's a free email provider.

Just google it.

 

[SkwerI]

I think I have a gmail account but I forgot what it is.

I've had access to it for about a month now, and I'm just finally getting it set up. If Paul runs out of invites(providing there is a limit to them still), I should have some as well.

I think I have a gmail account but I forgot what it is.

Well if you didn't make it "Skwerl@gmail.com" what were you thinking???

 

[Tree Reb]

Whut is it?

It's Big Brother Google.

He knows what you type, what you like to look for but won't let you watch youtube videos without joining. http://gigaom.com/video/no-more-youtube-without-google-accounts/

It's worse than George ever imagined.

 

[sotc]

Yeah, everything requires a gmail account now, even my phone!

 

[Tree Reb]

Yep, even I've got one or maybe two.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I don't like gmail. Most spammers have those accounts.

 

[Thor's Hammer]

I have a gmail server with my own domain name. I dont care if big brother wants to watch me. If he can bear to read all the drivel I post on teh interwebs, he deserves to know.

 

[Paul B]

I don't like gmail. Most spammers have those accounts.

I actually find the built in spam detection and filtration at Gmail very efficient, better than my ISP.

 

[Thor's Hammer]

Ditto that Paul. Gmail spam filters are excellent.

 

[pantheraba]

I have used gmail for our business account for several years...very easy to use, easy to search mail, good spam filters, etc.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Something about with a gmail account you can call a land based phone line for free via your computer speaker? I haven't looked into it.

there is Google chat Jay, similar to Skype. It is integrated within the Gmail console via your browser when you are logged in to Gmail. I use iGoogle as a homepage, it allows you to place small windows of usefullness into one page where you can click them to view them in their entirety at your leisure.
