Don't really get why anyone will use Google Talk

In other words, it's not bloated! In addition to that, it's tightly integrated with GMail. THose who spend a lot of time using the Internet for critical taks tend to prefer software that's simple, fast, light, easy to use. Like Gmail and Google Talk.

Unfortunately, it's not working for me right now (

When any member of the forum wins an award, we will ask who invited him/her to the forum, and then we would reward that person too!

Circumstances change, IAH. A man might lose his well-paying job after marriage. A celebrity might lose his popularity. A handsome groom might get involved in an accident and get crippled or deformed. A wealthy husband might fall into the hands of fraudsters and lose most of his wealth.

When this happens, the wife might easily fall into the habit of nagging, making the home uninhabitable for her husband. Even if the man finally bounces back, he'll be looking for a new woman to share his new prosperity with .

legry, if the woman wants you to listen to her then she should be ready to listen to you too.

Happy birthday, girl.

http://talk.google.com (it's now been launched!)

Give you another million out of my billion. just kidding.

And what would you do if hot-angel decided to move to another forum.

"I'm on Google Talk right now. Google Talk = Google's new IM service that they're announcing tomorrow. All you need is a Jabber-compatible Instant Messaging client (such as Apple's iChat, or GAIM), and a GMail address."

For the impatient ones among us!

I'd ask you to record your singing and send it to my box .

What would you do if given the chance to relocate to any country with $1 milion in your pocket?

Welcome, queen2, to the Nairaland forum!

I will send her to the same miracle pastors, then proceed to wed after the healing is confirmed by doctors!

What would you do if you saw money falling from the sky on your way to work?

Do these ringtones work on your phone?

Can you send me a copy of the free ringtones, so I can upload them on the server for the benefit of the Nigerians on this forum? The ringtones need to be made available to those of us in Nigeria!

The problem is not her confidence. It's her voice.

I will probably invite nominations, applications, user-initiated polls, et cetera, but I will always maintain the right to the final decision.

Nice contribution, vexxy. All the things you've mentioned should apply to friendship, too. Friends should be able to listen to each other. Active listening is a skill that I believe only a few people are wiling to learn. Sometimes people just want to be understood, they do not want their problems solved. You shouldn't need to get a sex-partner simply because you want someone to listen to you.

All I can say from my experience is that I hate nagging or pettiness.

The man's words are in blue, and the lady's reaction is in red! Whose side are you on?

If you have something on your mind do not play the psychologist in situations that its not needed with smart guys (people like myself) because you will get found out - just be straight from the get go.

Like seriously. sometimes you know what you did or said wrong. I don't blame the girl for giving you silent treatment. Yes, being straight up is the best but sometimes both parties will leave stuff until later, because you never know if you wasted your breath in saying too much.

When we say we comin to check you later we did not say 6 o'clock

6pm is the standard time for later. Don't say "later"; why can't you be straight up for once and say "I will see you when I see you" or "baby I will see you later say around 10pm or whenever". Specify a time, so she won't be waiting on you.

You do not have to jump up in the morning to look pretty when we open our eyes

Since some of them are already pretty, they might not do this. Some pretty ones are the vain ones, so they are the ones you shoudl talk to about that.

Do not ask us to come out with you, knowing fully well it's Sunday 3:00pm and you can hear Sky SPorts throughout the whole house.

Well, do not ask us to come out with you too, because if a woman can give up manicure or hanging with her friends and doing better things with family or working to be with you, you'd better once in awhile give up Sky Sports! It's a reciprocal thing, look into it

When a guy wants to compliment you on how good you look (like myself) son't assume it's because I'm on a mission
There is a reason behind the compliment. If not now, it might be later. Chances are, you are buttering up to the needed thing. aka where the mission comes in.

When it comes down to it you do not need to look like anyone of those video chicks for us to like you really - they just a fantasy - but if you do look like that we aint complaining!

And you're not going to marry those fantasy look-alikes either. You're going to marry a "down-to-earth", yet you stare at the fantasy like Urhobo seeing saldine. Why won't she be angry?

The friends we keep/people you see us with do not necessarily reflect who we are.

Ol boy, if you are friends with armed robber, that is what you are. You will not see me near you, because [the police] will carry all of you away. The friends you keep reflect on you but they do not say the kind of person you are. They generally cast a shadow on you, such that some people might not want to take a chance on you because of who you hang out with. According to BG "birds of the same feather flock together"

I wish women wouldn't drop that "well if you really cared about me......." line at times they fully know[/b]would [b]not get a favourable response.

No harm in trial!

Do not wake me or trample all over my face because there's a spider at the other side of the house

Well na ajebuta be that na (only a pampered girl will do that), or the white girl you are with, not a Nigerian woman who would have taken a broom to hit the thing even on your head. So leave that side, please.

Dont ask us "which dress do you like better" when we say they are both nice, then when we give an answer you want a police accurate report.

You seem to hangout with such vain woman. If you all really got to go and you both don't have that much time, there won't be no time for which dress, which shoes? schwepppss na ajebo u dey flow with?

It's nothing personal when I just want to step out on my own/with my boys once in a while

Likewise, if you are out in the stripper club, don't think I'm not. They have male strippers too.

Ask the guy before you set up house under his roof!

Yeah right. Did he ask me before him set camp on my ====?

You don't have to cut your friend of 10 years plus off, because you've met a man

Totally agree.

Please don't use sex as a weapon, its such a turn off

What should they use?

Mind games are a no no! Just be upfront, you save time and energy that way.

Mind games, like you all don't play it too. Men are the most serious mind games players ever. You keep all quiet when you really want to say something. "Guess what's i'm thinking with this face?" like we should know. So if you all are always upfront, your girl will be upfront too.

When we make plans with you to go out, please try to be on time (When you make plan with your girl and both parties agrees to leave at 6pm most of the time they are never ready. This one I don't really understand)

Confused, like I said before, some guys do this too. They never show up on time assuming the ladies will be late. Can you seriously count the amount of times your girl had to wait for you when you said 'baby I will be there in 20 minutes" and she didn't give so much of a fuse? Please!

By the way, it's okay to initiate intimacy sometimes. Men also like to be desired.

If she initiates, you'll begin to pretend as if you didn't initially want it. Please! You all don't know what you want sometimes, and black men would be acting funny when a woman steps up to them, like they're primitive or something.

Naijalife is the lady in question, and the source is TalkNaija, a sister forum. Your reactions are welcome.

I don't presume to give smug advice on issues in which I have no experience. You all should learn that. if you've not been addicted to smoking, you can't claim to have any idea how hard it is.

Addictions are very hard to break: it's good to seek the assistance of a doctor, and it's nice to have a supportive group of friends or family. Smokers smoke to calm down their nerves so a friend that gets on your nerves saying "you should just quit" is not helpful and should be dumped!

Nagging, Level 1: "I want you to do this and that, even if you don't want to, and I'll keep telling you to do it until you finally cave in or drop dead."

Nagging, Level 2: "I am not satisfied with who you are (your job, the amount of money you make, your beauty, or something else that is not under your control). And everyday I'm going to make sure to remind you that I'm just not happy with who you are!"

IAH, it is true that some men nag their wives, for example if the man happens to be a more organized/disciplined person than the wife. This is not so common, I think, because men seem to have the option of passing their point accross with threats.

Rumors abound that Google plans to launch an instant messaging (chat) application, Google Talk, tommorrow.

"Continuing its rapid expansion into new product categories, the Internet search giant plans to launch an instant messaging program called Google Talk as early as Wednesday, according to people familiar with the service.

"According to a person who has seen the service, Google plans to let users chat using more than just their keyboards. Like similar programs from competitors, Google Talk also will let computer users with a headset have voice conversations with other computer users with headsets, this person said.

"One source said Google intended to release the product Wednesday. Another source did not know when Google planned to release Google Talk, but said the company had been testing the service for at least a month.

"A spokeswoman for Mountain View, Calif.-based Google said early Monday that the company planned to release a new product this week. She declined later in the day to say whether that product was Google Talk."

I saw this coming, but I expected it to have a cool name, like "Gmail Messenger, a way to chat with your Gmail buddies". Tommorrow is the day it's likely to be launched, and I'm going to be one of the first to review it!

Please, we want to know if you're affiliated with Prymevil. Can you introduce the group to us?

Each award is supposed to be a one-time award that once granted is never revoked unless there's severe misbehaviour on your part. So the Active Newcomer Award idea may not fly. Each award should be open to every member of the forum, and given at the administrator's discretion.

Hello there,

The following awards are being proposed for the Outstanding Members of the Nairaland Forum. Each of them is represented by a letter which will be displayed on your profile if you win.

Any other suggestions?

Hello,

When a particular user is keeps disobeying the rules and wasting the time of the moderators, the next course of action is a suspension which means you won't be able to post or send PMs for a while.

When you are suspended posting on the Nairaland Forum, you're not being punished, because you're not a child. Rather, when we suspend you, we're merely trying to reduce our workload. The administrator does not like to have to spend so many hours every day deleting and modifying posts just because some people don't want to follow our clear rules and regulations!

Our software has been updated to enable us to ban people for as little as one hour (for nairaland addicts) and as long as several weeks or months, depending on the severity of the offence.

The user suspension feature is available for a reason, and it will be used!

Thanks,
Seun.
