Its an application that helps people access and share information over the Internet using public digital noticeboards. Using Google Noticeboard, communities can access a variety of relevant information. People can create text messages or record voice snippets and post them to one or more noticeboards. Typically each digital noticeboard carries publicly accessible messages. Compared to the notion of personal communication using email accounts, the Noticeboard metaphor allows user to engage in public communication with communities.

Noticeboard uses a Firefox extension and requires to enable IMAP in Gmail to send messages. The service seems to be aimed at people that don’t own computer and don’t have an email address, but the interface is very basic and limiting. Google Noticeboard’s user guide (PDF) has more information.

I am not sure how useful this is, lets see how people use it.

And installing Windows Messenger is the not that user friendly, many a times all the installation goes haywire while downloading and installating due to some network connection error or just some Windows Messenger glitch saying

“Another version of the product is already installed”,

“Your computer has a newer version of MSN Messenger than the one you are trying to install”,

“Your computer has a newer version of Windows Live Messenger than the one you are trying to install”,

“The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable” and etc, you are basically stuck because you can’t install the latest version nor go back to the old version”.

Additionally, in some cases the installer can’t be found in the Control Panel’s Programs applet or has become damaged with a  Catastrophic failure (0x8000ffff) error or the Windows Installer is prompting for a missing .msi file which you can’t find anymore.

Well to make things simple after all the goofup here is one small tool which could help you remove all the traces of Windows Messenger from your System.

Zap Messenger

[singlepic id=8 w=320 h=240 float=center]

ZapMessenger will automatically uninstall Windows Live Messenger, MSN Messenger and Windows Messenger 5.x and their respective installer references. To uninstall using ZapMessenger, all you need to do is to download this small tool 282KB, run it and click on the Start button. It will take from a few seconds to a few minutes depending on your computer configuration. I’d advice you to close any running programs, or even better running it in Safe Mode before using ZapMessenger. If you get the error “.NET Framework Initialization Error” or “The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135), make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and above installed in your computer.

Latest Windows Live Messenger

Once you’ve successfully removed or uninstalled Windows Live Messenger or MSN Messenger from your computer, you can now try to download the full installation file to install the latest Windows Live Messenger 2009.

[singlepic=1,320,240,,center]

The best hands have made Google Docs. Google Docs is probably the easiest to use of the various online word processing applications.  I’ve never had any issues logging into Google Docs and accessing my documents, but the same can’t be said for my experience with its competitors.

And using Gmail as the email service you can integrate Google Docs with it and get the best possible outcome.
