Update: Just read that it’s in fact possible to use the Google Talk infrastructure with any client that supports the underlying protocol. Now that is sort of exciting.

Another notch

The Messages from the lost continent blog has another member. Welcome Bart! Go and read, he’s fantastic.
By the way, just in case you are not the bookmarking kind of person, my sidebar prominently features the link (nudge, nudge).

GMail preview bubbles

Ah, I just can’t stop blogging about GMail novelties. Here’s a good one: install Greasemonkey, then install this script, and you’ll be able to preview any email in GMail with a right-click. Go here to check out a more detailed description. Found via the unoffical Google weblog.
