Some Start-Ups Pique Interest by Invitation Only - NYTimes.com
Demand for Google’s new social networking service, Google+, has been intense since its debut last month in a limited test mode. To get in, you must be invited by someone who is already a member, so Facebook and Twitter are peppered with requests for invitations to the service, and they have even been sold on eBay.
Google’s secret? Knowing that people usually want what they can’t have. -
Mute all randomly getting checked when using voice and video chat in Gmail - Google Chat Help
Had a similar problem start late April 2011 and found a working but unstable solution.
My problem: While using Google Voice with Logitech headset on XP, mic would set itself to “mute” and I had a one-way conversation. I could not hear the other party, but they could hear me. It was definitely a Google Voice issue as I had no problems when using Skype.
Found a solution posted by personguy 12/5/09 (thank you!) which is to turn off google talk plugin's audio auto-adjustment. Personguy warns that solution “requires editing the windows registry, which involves changing settings in a sensitive area of the system. if you're not familiar/comfortable with that, seek further help before following this advice.” http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/gmail/thread?tid=774a8ba90f9cf729&hl=en
Solution steps:
Close your web browser and webcam software.
Open regedit. Double click “My Computer” icon, then “C drive”, then “Windows”, then “regedit”
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Google\Google Talk Plugin
Change the value of "audio-flags" to 1.
Close regedit.
In using Google Voice over the past month, I’ve found the audio flags setting will reset itself from 1 back to my original 3. It seems to happen every few days. So not perfect, but so much better than un-muting the volume button every 15 seconds!
