Voicemail coming to Google Talk, Gmail

I think I just found a feature that's going to be implemented in Google Talk / Gmail real soon now: voicemail.

Try creating a label with the name "voicemail". I was cleaning up my personal account, where I get my voicemail delivered by email. I had set up a label months ago, and was trying to apply the label to one of the voicemails and got the error "The label name Voicemail is invalid". Hmmmm. So, I deleted the label, then tried to re-create it with the same name. No go...same error. Richard quickly verified that he was getting the same error.

Of course, trying to create a label with the name "Chats" gives you a different message -- "System specific names are not allowed. Please try another name." -- but it likely just means that "Voicemail" isn't truly live in the system yet.

Oh, and by the way, Bryght's switch to Gmail for domains is working really well.

Except for a label I have been using for a while called "Todo".

What baffles me is I have messages labeled this already.

I guess that's why it's "Beta".

Renato Fenocchio Olive Oil

I usually write about food on my Food Like That website. I really love this olive oil, however. If you want to find out more about it, check out the Farmstead Wines Olive Oil page. You can also buy in bulk there.
