We’re aware of a problem with Gmail affecting a small subset of users. The affected users are unable to access Gmail. We will provide an update by February 24, 2009 6:30 AM PST detailing when we expect to resolve the problem. Please note that this resolution time is an estimate and may change

*update*
seems to be fixed now.

watch the video introducing it, read their blog post and get the plugin here.

my wishlist:
they say that this is helping the environment because you don’t need to jump in a plane and fly to a meeting. but why is it than, that you are not allowed to do multi user conferences with video? i guess this should be the next step. but i am sure they are already working on that.

if you want to initiate a second video chat you will get the message “You are already in a video chat“.

anyways, great improvement. i am suing gmail since the early betas and enjoy it more than those email apps like thunderbird, outlook, apple mail or so.

thanks to michi for letting me know

das interweb nervt grad ganz schoen…
angeblich switchausfall am de-cix

1. thinking about switching to gmail but you don#t want to loose all the emails in your local outlook client?

• than you should read on here (tool for vista and XP only).

2. just found this: Get Google-Related Desktop Notifiers with Google Talk Labs Edition (again: windows only)

Today this poped up on the top of my GoogleMail:

Firebug is known to make Google Mail slow unless it is configured correctly.

Google suggests to disable Firebug on GMail.

For me it sounds like Firebug slows the AJAX stuff down?

Firebug? It’s a useful web developer extension for your Firefox.

Last month, we invited you to join the Gmail collaborative video, pull out your video cameras and help us imagine how an email message travels around the world.(Official Google Blog)
