5 More Products from the Makers of Mail Goggles

Google, always looking out for us, has a new feature available for Gmail. Mail Goggles – love the name! – asks you a series of math problems before sending your email, so that those who have maybe had a little too much to drink won’t send anything they’ll regret later.

A great idea, you’ll no doubt agree.

We gave some thought to 5 more features our Internet Overlords should take a look at, in order to save us from ourselves:

Facebook Heartbreak Timecapsule – When your Relationship Status changes from ‘In a Relationship’ to ‘Single’, Facebook stores all your wall posts, messages, pokes, etc for a period of 9 months, and then allows you to decide whether or not you really want to tell her that she’ll regret it and you’ll never stop loving her.

Ebay ELIZA - turned on automatically after you look at two or more kitsch items costing over $5. The software will nag you with AI intelligence , “Do you really need that? Where will you put it? Shouldn’t we fix the ____ first?” until you finally give up and go to bed.

iTunes Rock Snob – Interrupts your playlists with sarcastic comments about your music choices, “More Air Supply?! Great”, and suggests obscure German bands of the 70s from the iTunes store instead.

MySpace for Dads – let’s you design and play with your page as much as you like, but blocks your kid’s friends from seeing it so they don’t have to live a life of shame at school.

Yahoo Happy News – filters out any news items with mentions of the economy, mortgages, Iraq, or Paris Hilton. Currently a blank page.

Can you think of any more you’d like to see?

Prank Calls…Web 2.0 Style

It is often said that the pr0n industry is at the cutting edge of any new technology, well if that’s true, then the jokers are not far behind.

Have you ever wanted to make a prank phone call but found yourself too busy? Well, never fear, Getmooh.com is here.  Simply enter the number you want them to call, along with a time, then select your message and you’re all set – you can have Alec Baldwin give your mom an abusive phone call for absolutely nothing!

Of course, it doesn’t have to be for prank calls. They also suggest you can use their service to escape from a tricky date (“I’m so sorry, I have to run, my room mate has lost his keys”), or send a ‘funny’ birthday message to a friend. The possibilities are endless. Especially as you can record and submit your own message for others to use if they wish.

Don’t you feel lucky to live in the 21st Century?
