OldManRivers Endorses

As we all know, OldManRivers is pretty tune to the technological advances on the mainstream level. Now, some/most people are pretty netiliterate, (It's like illiterate, but with the internet) I've seen some new things. Advances and downfall in some. But what's been a big annoyance to OldManRivers is the complete bonbardment of ads. Ads, he doesn't care about. Things like junk mail, dating services and iPod contest. To quote the Zapitista movement, "Ya Basta!" (Enough)

A online service, based in the fundimentals for communication in a easy and simple way was needed, and pronto. I have sucessfully hook a few people onto this maddness and revolution about to sweep the world. (It almost already has). What it needs now is more support. Some of you may be asking "what the hell is he talking about, he hasn't even said what he's talking about", well ladies and gentlemen, it is here. Google Talk and GMail, are the easy, fastest, sleekest way to use e-mail and Instant message people.

Although it is only BETA still (That means in production still for those who don't know), it has many services way better then hotmail, shawmail, yahoo or any other type of free e-mail service. With GOOGLE raining doman on stocks and bussiness, it's not wonder their little invention called Gmail is so damn good. This E-mail serive has a wide range of uses and tools available to make e-mail so damn good.


Then you might go and ask "Does Gmail have any ads?", and the anwser would be yes. But these ads are so unnoticable, inless you really pay attention and only appear when you compose an e-mail. I recieved an e-mail from Gmail a long time ago about them putting ads in someone soon and it's been months later. I found out they started putting ads in there in January. I just never noticed them.

Complete with a contact list. The conact lists can be added onto, fixed, and used much to the similar of Hotmail. It has the feature to group e-mails together for "Friends" or "Family". (or "Revolutionaries" and "Allies" if your OldManRivers). This tool makes it extremly easy to send and recieve e-mails. Along with the ability for extencive contact lists, is that every time you send an e-mail, their e-mail can be added to your friends list. Once this is done, when typing in a couple letters for an e-mail, the whole e-mail is shown. All you need to do is press enter and BAM, the e-mail is entered.

Never run out of space. Every day your storage space is growing and will continue to grow. Right now it's somewhere over 3 GB of space. MSN only allows 3MB (not GB) and Shawmail only allows 30MB (not GB). You never have to delete e-mails because there is so much space. Although you can "Archive" any e-mail you want and it goes into "All Mail".

Junk Mail protector. I have never seen an e-mail have such a good junk mail protector. On the rare occation I'll get a junk mail but you can easily click "Report Junk" and it's gone for good. No more e-mails from that person.


Sleek and nicer instant messaging. The Google Talk, designed for Gmail has a nice sleek design that is easy to use and crafty. You are not flooded with ads or emoticons. Nor are you running crazy trying to figure out who's name is with all the damn song lyrics. You can easy just change their name to whatever you like. (I changed my sisters Google Talk online name to "Poo Face"....lol). It works similar to MSN or Yahoo but is way easy in design. It's made for what it's made for, TALK. Although it doesn't have Web Cam cababilities, yet, it can do voice chat better then any other IM's I've used.

Sharing Gmail. The thing about gmail is that you cannot "sign up" for it. The only way you can get a gmail account is if someone "sends" you an invite to join gmail. The reason for "invites" is that it keeps junk mail creators away and only real person aware. Once you have a gmail, you can "pay it forward" with you invites and give them to your friends. Spread the magic that is GMAIL.

Now, for you to get one. All you need to do is... send me an e-mail. If you would like an gmail, send an e-mail to onlineblogger@gmail.com telling that you want one and what you like about either "My Actions And Secrets" or "My Thoughts And Voice". I hope in some way this blog has made it more apparent how good Gmail is for people. I suggest you get one now and spread the word!
