Do you want to hear something funny? Our weather people have said that after this week we are in for a long dry hot spell right into August. Predictions of this kind from those bozos usually brings rain and lots of it. Don't hold your breath fellow Brits but wouldn't it be nice if this time they got it right?
It is with a little sadness I have decided to close Yahoo messenger. It is a wonderful tool for keeping in touch and also sending photos and large files instantly.It's like an upgraded version of Skype.
I used to have daily chats or videos with quite a few people but sadly I think they have been caught by that internet answer to reality TV, Facebook.The desire to blog,message and video seems to have left them in the busy hurry scurry world we now live in. Nobody seems to have time to chat for a few moments nowadays. I have stopped using Google chat for the same reason,Skype I will keep on because a couple of cousins in Oz keep in touch for family news on that
I had 4 people who welcomed me to 360, my first foray onto the net and I was clueless, they helped me sort things out. Of those I am only in touch with Jean nowadays,the only other 360ite is Jenny of course who I found on Answers not long after I started this journey.The same two are in fact the only ones from Multiply I am in contact with,people scattered like blossom in a wind when that closed. Changes happen quickly in this cyber world.On the plus side you always get a chance to meet new people from places you have never been that's always fun,well mostly fun anyway.
On this morning's agenda is a quick trip to Iceland,it was going to be a slow stroll but it's raining of course.

Here it is grey and dry at the moment, some showers are promissed but ?
I've only used Yahoo messenger once, that was way back in 1997, I did it because one of my Skype friends, an Arabic lady, could not get her webcam to work, except on Yahoo. I have never used G-chat or MS Messenger, most of my friends found out how to use Skype and CQ.Phone in parrallel, video on one, text on the other until Skype added the Webcam possibillity. I never used the chat service we had on Multiply, nor would I use one here. Facebook and Twitter are both towns on Jupiter as far as I am concerned.
I agree that Skype was/is a wonderful way of tranfering photos etc, even complete CD's with software as there was no limit to size, most e-mail programs had a size limit, the odd man out being Gmail where large PPS files can be sent.
It was friends on Skype that introduced me to Multiply, many of them followed me to Ipernity. Among my contacts here there are a few that I met on MP and chat to on Skype such as Pearl and Pamela, now both gone from here.
Yes, coming here gave me several new contact friends, compensation for those lost in the winds.
Enjoy your shopping trip.

It took me a while to get settled on here - I was on 360 and that closed, I was on Multiply and that closed... I just can't be doing with FB. I have Skype but there's never anyone to talk to lol though I guess my ex will use it to communicate with our son once he's settled in Oz.
Call me old fashioned, but I like nothing better than meeting in real life and sharing a cuppa and a natter.
Mickey fez has replied to Bee OrchidI do like meeting folk I will never see and find out their lifestyles and see what their areas are like through photos and in one case with Jenny just across the water from you in north Devon I got to visit her a couple of years ago and see parts of north Devon,a wonderful time
Stormlizard club has replied to Bee OrchidFriends I met on Skype joined my on Multiply where I had 170 contacts, of those I have visited and met 66% of them mostly in Japan and Thailand.
Shame about you leaving Messenger, you did so enjoy it. Still Yahoo Messenger is going to be Skype anyway. We ought to do video calls now and then - but I'll need prior knowledge so I can do my hair!!!!! LOL
