I’m testing it out this upcoming weekend. But the online alarm clock is SWEET!

LOL, free video conferencing and good cookies sounds like a good mix, count me in! Have you gotten a chance to check ooVoo out yet? I’ve been using the online alarm clock regularly.

How do we get our hands on your sisters’ cookies… (ooops that sounds ruder than intended…)

Free is definitely a great draw for any product – but video conferencing for free is 1000 times better than anything I know of right now (other than my sister’s cookies )

Yep, it’s completely free. That is what first attracted me to it. It really is an awesome way to keep in touch. Can’t beat free, right? Let me know if you have any questions about it. I’ll definitely be around more often

Hey, Jay, long time no hear from! I like Google Groups as a good alternative to Yahoo Groups. The emails come a lot cleaner (I don’t see ads!) and the archives are easy to search.

I will have to check out the Google Gadgets. I added a few to my iGoogle page, then got distracted by Netvibes!

Oh this sounds sweet, too! Is the video chat free, or low cost? This would be a great option for my family.

I hope to see you around more often, Pat!

I use the Google calendar regularly as I have some responsibility for a technical (sound) team in my church. I get team leaders to fill in the calendar for the team member who will be looking after the sound equipment for a particular event so anyone can look at the calendar and know who is on duty.
I have been thinking about Google groups for the same type of thing and also for a football team…
My favourite Google thing (Not EVERYTHING the Big G does is evil!) is google gadgets – widget type games and features that you can host on your own blog – I have ‘space invaders’ on my blog, and have used ‘pacman’ in the past – I am looking for a cool widget to play MP3′s on a website if anyone has suggestions…
