Awesome for talking over the microphone which is what its supposed to be, tried it yesterday and the quality was even better than taking over the phone. It owns Skype, plus i use gmail anyways so i love it.

You know what I think. I think Google is a bunch of big corporations spying on us for marketing pourposes. Look at how google.com is run, gmail and the archiving, google earch, now this. What's next? Google condoms?

I'll stick with IRC.

Well, back in Feb they had $3.19 bil in sales along with record revenues of $1.256 billion for the quarter ended March 31, 2005. Damn right they make money, and the beauty of it (so far atleast) is that they haven't had the need to be blood-sucking/monopolistic scumbags to achieve this.

Nice interface, just wish it worked with msn protocol so I could actually chat to some people!

Posted by PEZ68 on Aug-24-2005 18:56:

Just what I needed. No fluffy emoticons & smileys, crap options.

Just text

Looking forward to the next updates

Gmail's small text ads are matched by computers, and designed to be relevant to the messages you are viewing.

so basically, they're admitting to scanning every one of my emails...yeah i know the golden rule, never send anything by email that you wouldn't mind being broadcasted on the TV, but still...

Your e-mail gets scanned regardless if you are using gmail or not by anti virus scanners, anti spam scanners, gets stored on proxy servers, mail servers, your isp, browser cache, etc, etc. Gmail or not, another computer other than yours and the recipient's has/had a copy of that e-mail at one point or another. It just happens that Gmail scans it in order to display relevant ads. They don't publish/store/harvest/peek at your e-mails in the unethical ways you are thinking of....or so they say of course

I don't think they're reading my emails (though they're prefectly welcome to sift through my hundreds of penis extension junk mails if they want), and of course they don't publish them, or we'd all know about it! We all know we're being watched by people we don't know. I don't like that, and I hold even more dislike for the mindless logic to justify the surveillance e.g. 'we're doing this so you dont have to look at ads youre not interested in' or 'if you're not doing anything wrong then you shouldn't have a problem with being watched'.

That quote was from my very first correspondence from gmail, in a large print, easy to read email. It's almost as if those justificiations that are my pet hate have become so accepted by the world that google feels comfortable with admitting to everyone from outset that they're watching us.

Two things I hope they're gonna do: make it compatible with whatever the hell MSN uses, and make it so you can log on with two accounts simultaneously. I lead a double life you see...

[/color]

if you don't mind me asking, why do people overcomplicate their social life by doing that??? Is there a limit to the number of people that you can fit on one account? Do you separate your contacts in to different accounts for organisation (despite the fact that you can separate them in to groups on msn anyway)? Does it make you feel more popular to have more than one email account? I've never understood it and it's a pisser that it screws up my message history when ive got mates that sign in under 2 different names.
