Advert?
What advert? do AOL advertise on their chat app.?, damn, I’ve never seen them.
Prolly I should kill ‘Ad-aware’ and see what all the fuss is about.
Naww, on second thoughts, I dont want to see those adverts.
And hell, If I’m breaching my agreement with AOL I’m sure they are smart enough to notice and tell me about it like they do if I log into their servers from a different location than they expected.hey rustedtight, WTH is ad-aware? sounds like i need it!

FanaticMemberOne more bit of good news:
Unlike a lot of video mail software (like what Quickcam bundles), Yahoo Video Mail does NOT attach the video to the email. This means that your recipient won’t have to wait for a huge file to download; they get to choose whether they want to download and view your video.And a little more on the limitations:
The recipient doesn’t have to use Yahoo Mail, but they do need to be on Microsoft Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP.
Also, you’re limited to 30 “active” video mails. Video mails are available for viewing and can be replayed for up to 10 days, afterwhich they are automatically “expired.” As video mails expire, your count of active video mails decreases, allowing you to send more.
They imply that you can force video mails to expire sooner, but I haven’t been able to find any info on just how to do this.

FanaticMemberI checked this out. It’s pretty cool. When you login to Yahoo! mail and compose a new email, you’ll see a new “add video” option down near the bottom of the page.
Clicking that link (the first time only) will prompt you to download the SpotLife Composer software (<300KB). It will auto-recognize your webcam (as long as it's not in use by another app) and, voila!, you should see yourself in a little window. You get 30 seconds of recording time, which includes audio and video. You can also load a file from disk, or save a file to disk.
The recipient doesn’t need to be running Yahoo Mail. They’ll get your text email, along with a link to your video mail. To see your video, they have to first watch a short (<30 seconds) video advertisement though.
The quality is pretty good, and the video size is 320×240. Pretty decent. It opened the video pretty quickly over my DSL connection, but it would be obviously slower over dial-up.
System Requirements are:
- Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/2000
- Microsoft Windows Media Player 6.4 or higher with v7 codecs (Windows Media Player 7.x recommended)
- Compliant DirectShow (v6), Windows Logo Certified PC Video Camera
- Internet Explorer 5.01 or greater; Netscape Navigator 4.7 or greater.

-FanaticFanaticMemberI tested this with someone who was having this very same problem, and she had to edit her nickname twice, but it’s now been working for over 24 hours. It looks like it’s a fix, though it may take more than one try before it “takes”. This is probably due to how Yahoo stores information on their servers. It may not be getting updated or synchronized across all their servers in a timely manner.

FanaticMemberToo bad there’s no breakdown between AIM and ICQ. I think the numbers seem low if they’re really combined as you say.
IM on the verge of an explosion? Hahahaha!!!! We’re already explodin’, baby!!!

This topic sounds familiar to an email based technology that’s interesting to say the least. Spices up email a bit. Check out LifeFXYeah, I checked out LifeFX before (that clown scares the shit outta me!). If I had to choose, I like impersona better tho because it is real time. I like that lifefx gives u so many faces to choose from. mucho kewlness.
Tho…. I don’t use either any more! they get old real quick.

FanaticMemberNew to Odigo? Nope. But I’m switching ISPs and I think that’s where my problem lies. When I connect via Compuserve, Odigo works fine, but when I connect via my new ISP (Earthlink) it sux.
Earthlink tells me to contact Odigo (of course). We’ll see what Odigo says.
In the meantime, any Earthlink subscribers out there who use Odigo successfully?

FanaticMemberThey say ya don’t get something for nothin’! The flip side of that is NO ONE pays somethin’ for nothin’. IM is just an easy way of chatting, and there are LOTS of alternatives!!
I would never pay for IM unless I got something more than just chat. I MIGHT consider paying a subscription that included rights to download MP3s or videos. I already pay Sony 10 bucks a month to play Everquest. I guess if everyone has their hot button.
FanaticMemberIMpersona? I only wish there was a better way to say: L-A-M-E!
This thing is a dorky gimmick for people with way too much disk space and free time! Get a life, people!
Yahoo’s webcam feature is WAY better!
FanaticMemberMajestic gameplay has been suspended! When you visit their web site you’ll see the following message:
Given the recent national tragedy, EA has temporarily suspended service on Majestic. Majestic players will be contacted concerning resumption of the game.

FanaticMemberHmmmm…what can you use a webcam for? Close your eyes and imagine…
- “Hi grandma!!! It’s me, Billy! Look at the trophy I won at the fishing contest today!”
- “…as you can see by the crack running laterally down the manifold…”
- “OH MY GOD, the maid just rifled through my purse!”
- “OH MY GOD, the nanny just whacked little Sally with a spoon!”
- “OH MY GOD, look at the size of his… nose!”
LOL
