Google is officially the pimp of the internet
At least in my book.
Now that I've been using Gmail (Gangsta Mail? hmm) for a few days, I've decided it's pretty freakin awesome and worth using. I like it a lot better than any other webmail interfaces I've used, because everything feels well laid out, and when you click a button, it just does what it's supposed to... you hardly ever have to wait for the page to reload.
In addition to their awesome search site, news site, and new mail site, Google has made some sweet acquisitions and side projects in the last year. Blogger, the site I use to write the blog you are reading right now, is owned by Google, which has helped it to become a very user-friendly and awesome site. Additionally, Orkut Buyukkokten, the same guy who created Google News, made a site (Orkut.com) for people to meet each other and hang out online. I never used Friendster, but one of my friends described Orkut as sort of like Friendster but better. Interestingly, the only way to join is to have someone invite you. So if I know you, email me at kworth@gmail.com with your first and last name and email address and I'll send you an invite.
Not much else going on... going to San Jose this weekend for 4th of July, so that should be pretty fun. Although first we're going to Warped Tour on Saturday, because Jen's brother is a roadie (roady?) for the group Yesterday's Rising. That's about all for now,
