A new form of Micro-blogging

A newly introduced friend was telling me about his micro-blogging site:

Looked interesting and worth exploring. Do check it out. Infact, I will see if he can respond to this blog and explain a bit more about his site.

Getting tired of Micro Blogging

I am getting tired of Micro Blogging services. I feel they give too little an opportunity for me to write anything. And I kind of feel I am imposing myself on others to read about my views. All those people following you ... do they really care what I do? So, there is this pressure on me to write as briefly as possible which is kind of boring. As I tend to do a lot more activity in a single day that will generate too much activity on a micro-blog.

Forwarding emails from gmail

I observed that I cannot forward multiple emails from my gmail account. I tried creating a filter and clicked on the checkbox that applies the filter rule to all the emails. But the filter does not really apply to old emails. So I tried making these emails "New" or "Unread" and that still did not seem to do the trick.

I like the idea of using one gmail account so I can check the emails from my iPhone, but I also need the flexibility to forward a bulk set of emails once in a while to my personal mailbox, as I don't want to rely on gmail in the very long run. Besides it has a limit of 6 GB, so I am sure, I will need more space eventually.
