I finally got sick of using Outlook for email and thunderbird was not quite good enough and so I decided to turn my gmail account into my new mail client. I setup the POP option for all my email addresses (gmail limits you to 5) to all go to the gmail inbox and then I can check all my mail in one place and check the same mail box anywhere I can acess the internet. The only problem I have is that I cannot access my mail when I am away from the internet. However, I have two gigabytes of space, that I will never fill up, and can even use a mobile device to check my messages. This beats outlook by any strech and I love using it.

I have now been using twitter for about a month now and I would like to Blog about how much I love it. Twitter is a website that allows you to share what you are doing at any time from many places. It is very similar to Facebook’s Status update however the full site is just people’s updates. Twitter is great for blasting messages to all of your friends and/or fans. You are also able to update your “tweets” from a mobile phone VIA text messaging or a pocket computer such as my Nokia N800. In addition to the updates you can also “follow” people’s tweets and have other people “follow” you. You are also to send direct messages to your followers. Many internet celebrities such as Kevin Rose, Leo Laporte and John C. Dvorak have twitter accounts and you can follow their updates. I have already posted 85 “tweets” and my goal is to have 1,000 by the end of the year! Try twitter out you can also use great tools like the Twitter application on facebook which allows your to cross-post your tweets with your facebook status.
PS. Follow my tweets
