Google wants to use open protocols and
standards to give consumers a better
understanding of how much electricity they
use.
On 2/9/09, Ed Lu, (Google engineer),
announced the company was working on
PowerMeter,
a software tool to show consumers their home
energy information almost in real time, right
on their computer.

Dear Tom,
It wasn't many years ago that we were all
pretty amazed by just plain e-mail. Think
about it for a moment as you read the lines
below.
- send a note or letter to anywhere in the
world as easily as sending it next door
- no need to buy postage, lick stamps or
even buy
paper or envelops
- it takes only minutes for the recipient
to get your message versus hours or days
(sometimes delivery is almost instantaneous)
- send 5, 10 or 100+ people a message
as easily as sending to one
- save, store and speed search your
messages virtually forever
Well it's time to be amazed again! Messaging
technology continues to raise the bar and
Google's G-mail
(a primary service in
www.GAFYD.net) is leading the way.
Google's web based e-mail system should more
accurately be called e-communication.
There are many reasons why, but the major one
is the continuing addition of "real time"
message exchange abilities. All packaged
in one web application that can be accessed
from anywhere at anytime via any WEB
connected PC.
Mail systems by definition use the "store and
forward" process. That establishes a "delay
time" between when a message is created/sent
and when it is received/read. Over history this
delay time has
constantly gotten smaller - going from the pony
express to FedEx overnight to electronic
delivery - but a time delay still always
exists.
Telephone calls on the other
hand are
considered "real time" messaging. Sub-second
delays in moving sound may exist, but the
experience to us is actually "real time" -
the recipient gets the message at the moment
we send it. This can radically change
communication dynamics
(sometimes for the better, sometimes not) -
but it is very different than just mail.
Endless amounts of new software have
appeared that provide "real time" messaging.
 HOWEVER, G-mail is the only
massively adopted, web-based e-mail
system that allows all 5 leading
types of e-communication from one program:
- E-mail (with threading, labels &
search)
- Text Messaging (allows written
exchanges with cell phones)
- Chat (allows group or 1on1
discussions)
- Voice (add voice inflection to
conversation)
- Video Calls (adds the benefit of
body language to a conversation)
Visit our Blog site www.AllThingsIp.com
to learn the operation, common uses and
benefits of each above messaging technique.
I promise, you will be surprised to learn
just how simple, beneficial
and powerful these services are when used
from a web interface.
www.GAFYD.net
(Google Apps For
Your Domain via Net)
has a proven advantage for wining this game
and doing so for very low cost.

This month's event is scheduled to happen
inside a piece of Denver History. Nearly
145 years after its original construction,
visitors can still step back into early
Denver at the Blake
Street Vault - where good drinks, great
food, and even better stories tell of a time
when life - and the occasional indiscretion -
was lived for the moment.
 For those who are wondering about the "vault"
part of the name...
The basement brick wall and hidden
staircase leading from the trap door were
removed from around the vault to expose it
for public
viewing. After complete
restoration, the vault will
hold privately owned bottles of Jack Daniels
Single Barrel - specially selected for patrons.
