congrats to google

I’ve long been a fan of Google. I mean what is there not to like? They make great products and give them away for free (hmmm…reminds me of anthem of hope..haha). Like google documents (love it), google voice, google analytics and scads of others.

Well today they announced a new product: Autopilot for Gmail. In short, it is an application that reads your email and sends intelligent automated responses. Basically, you can set it up with your preferences (even preferences for misplelling words and using emoticons) to make it look like its really you. After it tracks a couple hundred of your responses it can take over and do the work for you.  Here is a screen capture:

 But, alas…once again the internet giant has fooled me on April 1st.

(Thanks to Chris Renda for his twitter post helping me realize this was an april fools joke. They had me going for a bit)

Anyway, I have strep and am told I need to get more sleep. So I’m off to bed early, but it feels good to blog again :)

Well, there is a large group of us that have been working hard on AnthemofHope.com

Here are a few that made their way over my house at midnight to support the launch. It was cute. I’m wiped. Bed time. I’ll write more about this tomorrow…
