Picasa is always in front of them and they are always playing 'catch up' I'm afraid. Well, that's my opinion. Updates need to be far more frequent and they need to listen to their users and be more innovative in my opinion.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565202952790011951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326467594382112544.post-7949611394808167172010-12-20T01:29:20.253+00:002010-12-20T01:29:20.253+00:00Hello again Technogran,

Since both have now been updated, do you still feel the same way?

Sadly, there is nothing even remotely like a dcoffee shop in this small area where we now live. The closest resemblance would be the Dunkin Donuts or Tim Horton (popular in New England states). Our favorite place to go when it's available is a Panera Bread, which features unlimited coffee refills, breads and baked goods, hot soup and sandwiches. If we ever travel to the UK, Merrie England will be a definite stop!Beatrice P.

Jenny, I already brought this 'chat' feature about on Windows Live in the form of Messenger Chat but unfortunately that idea is now wasted because they have closed Spaces down. <br />As for something like that on Blogger well, you will have to suggest it to the Blogger bods.They have been recently asking for ideas for Blogger, but I don't see how it can be done on here without their altering things. <br /><br />TGAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565202952790011951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326467594382112544.post-61988468997764387042010-12-17T20:50:17.672+00:002010-12-17T20:50:17.672+00:00TG, I'm going to pick your brain for a minute....TG, I'm going to pick your brain for a minute. You're so good with all this stuff that you might know how to do what I suggest. Here's the story: As you know, whenever someone posts an entry, people make their comments and even have some questions. But even more so, as time goes on, all of us know each other better and better and it's HARD going back and forth from our own page to the other page and so on to add new parts to the original comment or to answer a question. Whew. Hope you followed that. Anyway, here's what I was thinking. Seems to me there should be a way, almost like a chat room or area, that we could form. That way, on the moments we decided to "get together" for a chat, we could be there and when we type, whoever else was there could see it in real time. Know what I mean? The area would show who's there at any given time. I think it would be terrific and it sure would make going back and forth on conversations (other than about the post) so much easier and a lot more fun. Any ideas how that could be accomplished here in blogger? Even better would be a main chat area but LINKED to each of our pages if we wanted it that way. Then a person wouldn't even have to go somewhere else to see it all. They would see it within their own page on a tab maybe. I'm just thinking very out loud here. What do YOU think? I always look to you as the expert. :D xoxoxoJennyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329171741191991379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7326467594382112544.post-89005224061887081902010-12-17T20:11:16.481+00:002010-12-17T20:11:16.481+00:00I haven't even gone to a coffee shop to just s...I haven't even gone to a coffee shop to just sit and take it easy for a long time. Most of my friends want to get 'er done so move pretty quickly to drink coffee and leave. There are times when I miss the slower pace of things back in the day for sure.

I was talking to someone a few weeks back and we were both reminiscing of those good old days. <br />Dave, when I am out, I leave all the technology behind!

It was called, somewhat exotically "The Flamingo" and was exactly the same as "Bill's".

In fact, if I ever get to visit the UK, I now would know one place for sure I'd want to see and spend some time.<br />Remembering back to the "good old days" is both a happy and a sad thing, isn't it. The older I get, the more it happens, but then I thought, if I had never had these great experiences when I was young, that would be the saddest of all. Do you know, TG, there was a Bill's here, too, and it was the gathering place for decades for all the kids. No jukebox but great burgers and bbq and limeades...and the best of all was the parking lot where everyone jumped out of their cars and ran visiting to all the rest. Today if that happened, they'd all be arrested, lol. Sure was a fun time :D<br />TG, I really do love when you do posts like this. Do some more! <br />XOXOXOJennyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329171741191991379noreply@blogger.com
