Offline messages on Gtalk !

Google talk finally has offline messages !
i dont know why it took them so long for that

Just type to ur offline friends
they ill get at the next login.
similar to yahoo.
and with the advantage that this one will have it in ur mailbox too in hte chats section if u have enabled it.

I had lost some offlines of yahoo since i hadnt enabled hte archiving and messener crash/windows carash those occured sometimes durng hte startup of system.

its better coz they are archived in hte mailbox . safe and quiet.

"Better late than never".

Finally, something useful about Orkut

I had joined Orkut long time back, just because it was from Google.

You should always be in touch and updated with wat those guys do at Google. They are the current trend setters. No doubt about that.

But i never used it because i was not used to the community networks, i never believed in hi5 or somthing else. My view about them was always of spammers waiting to get a truckload of new email addresses.

It was later when someone else (sorry i wish i could name him/her , but for my memory :( )did some scrappy work, i rose to it. After that it was great fun. Lots of friends whom i knew, lots of them new .. strangers.. the forum stuff and everything.

it was so involving that i dint know i wasted one full week on it. And then I realised that I would waste my entire life there.

So I stopped: Paused, rather, it was later in short bursts that i visited Orkut.

Today something strange happened. One of my old friend came out of no where in my messenger window. we havnt met for last 9 yrs or so. She was lot of questions and thankfully i could answer most of them !

I went to her profile and added her as my fiend searched for her short friendslist and found another one !

The one i had lost a long before (11 yrs ago i suppose), my childhood friend, with whom i used to play in my schooldays and which i believed could have happened only though orkut. I always believed that i would get in touch with her once one day, honge kaamyaab ek din . My eyes had wandered everywhere when i was in Calcutta , everytime i went out, so that one day we will meet again.

Thanks to Orkut.
now i feel Nothing has been so useful to find lost buddies !
So happy today , a dream come true.

Gtalk - Know where to hide ! ? ! ? !!

Google is known for making thigs easyand simple.
But one thing i have to say about hteir messenger.
Gtalk was designed for voice chat may be.
But with no hiding feature , you are absolutely in NOWHERE TO RUN - NOWHERE TO HIDE situation.
Just cant hide. Everytime u acces ur gmail, everyone knows you are online.

At times you really need to hide. the way out: logout of Gmail.
C'mon, talk about somthing practical !
:)

The earth is being shot at ! Now you are in the firing range. where ever you be.

This is my vision on Google Earth.
Lots of controvorsies. Its good or bad or ugly, doesnt matter. you can never stop technology. See the case of comupters, the mobile phones, cable TV, all were the same. Google this time brings another version of this.

The massiveness of our Earth was nothing that you have ever thought of, if you might have thought it then too, I'm sure you will realise it only when you see GE.

I spent a lot of time 'browsing the earth'. Navigation, as always with Google was so easy. And with the complete information avaialable, as presently in any state of US, Best thing I found was you just need hte address to find out the place. Just imagine how easy it would be when you are planning a trip to a place for the first itme. You can pin point the shops , can plan your stay, even show the cabbies the shortest way!. Thats ewhere it is going to reach.

Its really necessary when u are in some cities like Chennai, where the autowallas will take you round and again.

And if you dont have the address, go through the streets and find it out yourself ! :)

The Negetives : Terror attack. But I dont think banning GE will help this. You can get a good map, well enough for you to make a plan, and of course you are assumed to know your own targets for such an attack.

I dont think anything like that will be able to stop Google. Afterall we are familiar with their marketing skills. And those who oppose this move are all politicians.

Google TALK

FAST - thats wat it is.

strange thing ! i just can't say when i found this. i was really stunned.

1. I kept it open .. the Talk stuff..
2. typed TH .. to invite a friend of mine in the search window. The search window has the typical google dropdown of ur addresslist. The gmail account wasn't there.

3. I did ALT TAB where the Firefox had the gmail opened. i went to Contacts and added the gmail address there.

4. Again pressed ALT tab.

5. Clicked on search. Typed T... H.. and there came the name ! in the window.
the time may be 2 sec. max the data was retrevied !!!

is ther anything faster online ???
i cant say can u ??
