Ok guys, I'm fed up of explaining to people that you can format your text in Gtalk.
- Enclosing text between asterisks makes them bold.
- Enclosing text between underscores makes them italicized.
- Dunno if there is a way to underline text. Let me know if there is.
Anyway, this is fairly common info. (That is to say, pls dont hit back saying your 5 - yr old cousin has this in his knowledge bank)
But there is something extremely interesting about Gmail that I got to know from my friend, philosopher and guide Rathna Anna!
In gmail, all the following IDs are one and the same:
- abc.def@gmail.com
- a.b.c.d.e.f@gmail.com
- ab.cd.ef@gmail.com
and so on!
The dots can be played around with! :) If you dont believe me, send yourself a mail with the dot misplaced.
Interesting right?! :)
Do you guys know any other easter eggs like this?

Searching mails in gmail is very easy now! Define the search operators properly - see below
A link from my co-worker Michael: from:michael http
A photo from my mom: from:mom has:attachment
That last chat I had with one of the Gmail product managers: keith is:chat
All messages from ebay that aren't outbid notices: ebay -outbid (the hyphen tells Gmail to return all of the messages that don't contain the word that follows it)
The messages in my inbox sent directly to me that I haven't read yet: to:me is:unread in:inbox
All the above can be found in the officail gmail blog!
Let me give one.It is possible to add a person to Gtalk list without giving them a request yourself.All you need to do is to send them a mail,and in case they reply .Thats it.Gtalk will automatically add them to ur Lsit and it saves the Tchy -Tchy Embarassment from giving them a request.
Tried and tested.Six Sigma Certified method.
Btw..The mesage on Twitter about Landmark is Good.LAndmark poi book mattum dhan partiya ?? :)
u can also play with '+' in gmail...
ur address is 'flashy.vishy@gmail.com,...
u r signing up in some website with this..say ccna & cricinfo
u can register as
" flashy.vishy+ccna@gmail.com"
"flashy.vishy+cricinfo@gmail.com"
and so on.. it will still get delivered to your own...
gmail ignores all chars after a '+'...
u can filter your various mails by givin em as
flashy.vishy+psg@gmail.com
flashy.vishy+iimb@gmail.com
n so on and on and on ...
:)

That is the case only if both of you have enabled a particular option on gtalk. It is called the "Add people I communicate with often to my Friends list" .

Yenna comment idhu? Avan unna use panna solli azhudhaana? :P
And blogroll panna solli ipdi bagirangama kaeka koodadhu.. u could have been a bit more subtle :P
And there is no link between kamasutra and automobiles (at least i think so.. unless some exotic positions hav been added to the book in recent times).. It's just that men are most interested in these two things, above anything else..
@stranger..
Thanks for adding value!!
