If so, it is an unwarranted invasion of privacy as I don't want someone calling me one day and saying "I know you were online the other night when called because I could see you popping in and out of Gtalk" etc.<BR/><BR/>The new sidebar format definitly DID slow things down for me. So much so that even though I am a Google fan I started looking for alternatives. I have hopes they resolve these issues soon or my alternative may become habitual.<BR/><BR/>Orkut is a disaster. Yes, they have more users in India and Brazil than the other players. But it is only a matter of time before users in those countries switch to Facebook or Myspace, in fact it is already happening. When you join a "community" in Orkut that has thousands of members and the last message in the forum is a week old, and the one before that is a month old you can get a feel for when this drop off started to occur. Orkut also stopped being quite so open with it's user base figures about a year ago.<BR/><BR/>It's very hard to see where google is going with all of this. It looks to me like a scatter shot approach: doing "social" several different ways and hoping that one of them hits the mark. If it were otherwise, why would I need to maintain one profile for Blogger, another one for Photos and Reader when I already have a perfectly good Orkut profile?macbeachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16570427618324025947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-86939114888635678622008-11-21T08:20:00.000-08:002008-11-21T08:20:00.000-08:00Not having the ability to turn off chat in iGoogle...Not having the ability to turn off chat in iGoogle may also be problematic for people who have chat and email blocked at work by a proxy.Nirajhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03790264569991599467noreply@blogger.com
