Gmail and Orkut account set up
Thursday, April 29, 2004
Through Min's friend working in Google, I got invitations to test drive Gmail and join the "snotty" Orkut club. Gmail is very convinient to use. Lots of javascript in it, which I don't like. But it's convinient and unique in so many ways, I fell in love with it instantly. There are so many people worrying about their privacy issue when Google try to integrate Adwords with Gmail by providing content-relevant Ads along side of normal email stuff. I personally don't worry about it. My information is not worth a million bucks and to get email scanned by a "robot" doesn't make me feel invaded. So, Kudos to Google. You guys did another great job!
At the same time, Google's Chinese website started to provide Pin Yin recognition system. You simply type Pin Yin into the system and the google server will translate it directly to possible Chinese characters. Very convinient for people like us who have to type Chinese by switching modes on the keyboard. In a way, Google could become a quasi-operating-system some day. I'm sure it will happen.
