Gmail now with Video Chat!

Since sometimes reading “lol” doesn’t deliver the same punch as actually hearing your friend laugh at your jokes, you can now use voice and video capabilities in your Gmail chat. From within Gmail, you can have an actual conversation with someone (seriously, out loud), or even chat face to face over video.

Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

  • Download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in, quit all open browser windows, and install the plug-in.
  • Sign in to Gmail.
  • In the Chat section of your Gmail, select the contact you want to call. If they have a camera icon next to their name, you can make a voice or video call to them; just click Video & more.

If your friend doesn’t have a camera next to their name in your chat list, you can invite them to download the Gmail voice and video chat plug-in from the Video & more menu in a chat window. Even if your friend doesn’t have a video camera, you can still make a voice call or a 1-way video call.

Cuil.com, Hotel Rates = GraveStone ?

Cuil.com claims to have more pages indexed than google. The Founder was also some engineers working at google before and started now with their own Search Indexer.

My first test with it, was quit dissapointing. I searched several pages of mine and did not found them. Ok, that may not the big deal, more dissapointing was when I search for traveldestinations, it looks there are mostly the big travelagencies listed, but no local homepage of the destination i like to go.

Next, the most funniest:

I growed up in the City of Bad Woerishofen, Germany and I was looking if their Homepage is listed when I search for. I guess u alread saw at the Picture what I did found:
“Hotels in Bad Woerishofen, check for Rates…” AND the Image of a Grave Stone!

Haha, Really, my old Town is famouse for its many old People, because its a Healty Place where many old Guys and Girls travel on, but a Grave Stone :)

Anyhow, so what to say. I liked the new style, with a preview Picture of the Search results and the Design at all, but just Mass in Search Results (as they claim, more than Google) and Pictures that does not fit to the Results at all. I will give it a change in some later Time maybe, for now, its just a new freaky Gadget…
