Just got a new computer and wanna test out my yahoo messenger on my big screen laptop (I am used to a mini acer) lol

Shoot me a message on yahoo messenger if you feel like talking a little

I didn't know people still used Yahoo messenger. Google is where it's at!

DestinyInKC · 08-13-2013, 11:04 PM

If you bring up gmail in a browser it should just show up over on the sidebar. I think it's actually called Google Hangouts now. And then I think you can put someone's email in the "new hangout" box to chat with them.

thanks

got it now

Hehe. Yeah. Hangouts is a little different. It allows for easy setup of multi-party video chats as well.

Um... kinda expands what one thinks of when the word "collaborative" appears, huh?

Yes if your concerned with big brother watching what you do, where you go, what you say, what you tweet then you most definately dont want to use google, this is exactly why I am going to stay away from Google internet.

companies are like lemmings...what one does they all will do

Enchanterlingum · 08-15-2013, 05:50 AM

Well google is more public about it than most. Just yesterday it came out that in a court filing, they made the statement that google email users have no expectation of privacy because users have given their information to a third party (them).

I can personally vouch that Google willingly shares their information with Big Brother, and most of it is without a warrant or pursuant to any investigation. About all I can say is I have first hand knowledge.

KCSmutMonkey · 08-15-2013, 04:57 PM

Busted for file sharing, eh?

DestinyInKC · 08-15-2013, 06:36 PM

LOL well crap looks like I will just stick with yahoo!!

Just regular chit chat! lol
