All my friends use Gmail…

Okay, not all of them, but a good bunch of them do. And now that they’ve opened it up to everyone, there’s nothing stopping you from being as hip as we already are. But more than that, you can join in an odd type of communication we’ve come up with that I hereby officially dub “Google Talk Status Chat.” Life’s too busy for real chat, much less email. But you can amuse your friends with witty or topical, or avant garde status messages via the Google Talk “Quick Contacts” widget in Gmail and you can play off each other’s quips. Hilarity ensues.
