If you’re a super genius Internet savvy rockstar blogger like me, you probably use Gmail for your email. It’s definitely the coolest free email program out there, leaps and bounds above Yahoo! and Hotmail and Me and other options. From the ease of searching to the easy to use Gtalk to the ever increasing disk quota, Gmail is the hip place to be. Fo sho’.
And now it’s gotten even better! The Google chat now has voice and video capabilities! This is very cool because you don’t have to use an external instant messenger program to talk to all of your favorite people – you can do it from within the comfort blanket of your browser.
How do you do it? Well, once you log into Gmail, you’ll see a nice little link that tells you all you need to know.
After you follow the easy-to-understand instructions, your name will show up with a cooler icon next to it in the Gtalk window!
Then, anytime you want to talk to your favorite blogger, Avitable, you can just click on my name, click “Video or more” and then “Start Video Chat”, and if I’m around, you’ll get to gaze on this!
Or, if you’re less lucky, this:
No, I Don’t Do Speed
Maybe if I wasn’t so lazy
On bullying, homsexuality, and Jonah Mowry
Will you wax first?

I’m not sure what to say… you have left me speechless and not eager to use the Google Video Chat. :lmao:

And where the heck is my picture?? What have I done to piss off the Avi God’s???

Yes – I saw that, and I saw the invite. I really hope that my spelling is okay – I actually left my house and drank toniht! With other people! Woohoo!
Haha
Anyway, I am going to have to do the google video chat, and send you pics.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Earlier today (yesterday?) I was very perplexed by the little video camera next to your name.
I was VERY tempted to send you an IM to find out what the heck that thing was all about.
I’m equal parts relieved and upset that I did not go with my gut instinct.
But then again we all know what happened to that damned cat….it saw a live action shot of Adam engaging in questionable acts and it DIED.
Only in my case, it would be one of those “I can finally die happy” moments.
L – O – FREAKIN’-L (Did that just make you lose all respect for me? Yes? Good.)

Good god man.
I’m just getting ready to go to bed and now I’m going to have your hairy ass cheeks burned into my brain.
I think I’ve now seen more of your anatomy lately than I have of my damned husband’s.
Is that a good thing or a bad thing? You decide.

I suppose I’m going to have to invest in some more push up bras now.

I saw that new feature in gmail the other day. I already have web cams on my Christmas shopping list so I can see my baby grandson out east more often. Can’t wait!

Seriously? I am pretty sure that THIS is the sole reason that the people at GTalk even developed the webcam option!!! I mean, ya know… to give the whole world a chance to experience your balls…

Stephanie, never!
Angie, I’m a big hairy ass man!
Faiqa, you know, I was hoping that you of all people would be observant enough with this post to see the little jokes I put in.
Just Beth, it keeps me warm at night.
Amanda, well, are you on Gmail’s video chat yet?
LMSS, they’re flat, too!
BPR, oh, you so funneh!
Janelle, your Gravatar disappeared because you put your email address in wrong.
Sybil, now that your kid’s gone for the weekend, you’re going all out, eh?
Sheila, see? You missed out on what would have been an enlightening experience.
Redneck Mommy, well, maybe if you’d stop emailing me and asking for more nut shots!
Sarah, no, video chat is meant to be used while topless.
Wayne, I also have six fingers on my left hand.
NYCWD, oh, you totally expected it.
Aunt Robin, you can buy a cheap one for $20 so you don’t have to wait until Christmas, you know.
DB, exactly. My balls need to become a worldwide phenomenon.
Wayne, they’re homonyms!

I’m good enough…I’m smart enough…and gosh dang it, people applaud me for NOT LOOKING AT YOUR IMAGES!
Really. I need to Google Chat to test it out though, especially now that I have the computer back that makes non suck video! Maybe I’ll come find you.

I have it installed, and I noticed you had too. I was going to try and setup a v-chat to test out the feature (not many of my contacts have it yet).
I’m SO glad I didn’t.

I use gmail for my work mail so I’m thinking I’ll leave that feature unenabled for now;-)

Good job I wasn’t really enjoying eating this Cup O Noodle for lunch when I scrolled down! :puke:

So, depending on what we have to say you’ll decide what view we’ll see on video?

As awesome as video chat (and your ass cheeks for that matter) are, the coolest add-on during that upgrade was the attachment verifier that reminds you to actually ATTACH the file you were planning on sending someone if it catches a reference to it…which should save me from looking like more of a moron any day now…

Maman, really? Or you could just email me sometime.
Tracy, oh, you love it.
Ginger, I keep it well combed.
Karl, I used to use services like that but always had problems with them.
Hello, webcams are cheap!
Melissa, but that’s part of the fun!
Breigh, hahhahaha – the *petpet* made me snort.
Jeremy, I didn’t even realize that was an add-on.
