Gosh Not My Gmail!!

Now having used twitter for almost one year, I’ve seen some followers complain about Gmail being down. Not once have I gotten issues with my dear ole Gmail. In all of my 5 years as a user this is the very first time that this is actually happening to me personally. How should I feel? Really I am not going to go screaming that Gmail is down but, I feel so helpless, so naked. I reach and refresh and browser and I see the same message. I am not sure why this is happening. Maybe Google will give us a reason. Right now however I am stuck. Maybe I will utilize Yahoo as a back up…yeah I might do that…what do you think?

Seeing that this is the first time I won’t rant about my darling husband. You know for me once its a mistake, twice its was intentional and three time its a habit. I do not know about others but I am on  the first offense.

Now I am going to have to eat  some gummy bears to get over this…

I am a Google-Babe

Call me Mrs. Google or better yet I rather be the mistress to the mister ;) . I fell in love with Gmail and now I am in love with the Google reader, Google sync, and Google talk formerly Grandcentral. What else, oh yes Google Analytics, Gtalk/Gchat and basically everything Google. The only thing I do not own right now is the Google Android. My dream is to one day own a Google house, a Google car and a Google MP3 player, maybe I will change my name to Vandy Google :D .

Gmail has evolved over the past few years, I love the labels, the ability to see multiple inboxes, to undo that embarrassing email that I might send when I am angry. The Most High (God) is the only one who knows how much I want to take back those words I just sent off. Gmail is the best…except when it is down that is.

Google Voice where do I begin, I have been beta testing it for the past two years when it was just Grand Central. Right  now I am so excited about the sms and the voicemail and the ability to use it as a regular phone. A great alternate that is my phone number for the public :) .

Google reader ah yes the place where I have all of those feed that I read for information. Oh and the reason why I retweet is  because someone already tweeted the post that I was reading. Back to Google reader, I can have all of my RSS feeds in one place and I could share it with my friends and share it on Facebook via the import feature. It is a very handy tool when it comes to getting the news and tech updates.

Google Sync my phone company Verizon Wireless is offering this feature called phonebook backup. I don’t use it though I rather use Google Sync for one reason it is free!!!  Second I could lose my contact at anytime i.e. when I am not thinking I may hard reset my phone and all of my contacts may disappear I could reinstall my Google sync and I am ready to go. By the way since I am Google’s mistress I am using it.

Oh no I forgot my GOOG-411. Now I love using GOOG-411, it is free and I do not have to wait for someone to answer me, that is $1.75 that I am saving quick and simple and you get to the business in under 30 seconds now that is some 411. You could try it 1-800-GOOG411.

Last but not least GTalk/GChat having my chat within my email is a one stop shop for me. MSN and Yahoo? Ok I admit I still use those, but I would rather have my GChat. Its clean not too much bulk like those ads and so far no spam and no stupid viruses. Plus I can see all of my emails when they come in.

As far as I can tell I am in love with Google :D . I am in no way affiliated and I am not being paid to say that it is just my opinion. There are many tools that Google is using some of the others are Youtube, Google Video, Google Analytics and the long time Google search. I find then quite useful and easy on the pockets, I cannot wait to see what is next. Anyways that’s it on Google.

***UPDATE***

Here is a link from my good friend @pripper of a few of the Google services that are available: Google Everything
