Google adds anti drunk dial tool

Official Gmail Blog: New in Labs: Stop sending mail you later regret

A cell-phone firm in Australia did a similar thing to try and stop drunk dialing a few years ago. I think the real value-add is to team the Google service up with http://www.hollywoodiscalling.com/

That kind of crossover service could take the drunk dial to some truly awesome places. Horrible, to be sure, but you'd have to expect some amazing comedy when a frustrated drunk unleashes Larry Holmes or Horshack on his unsuspecting ex-girlfriend.

More economics doom n' gloom anon. Problems in Iceland, the potential collapse of the European Currency Union, and why credit segmentation really really matters.

My prediction: We'll all need a drink or two by the end of the week and drunkenly getting Horshack to call folks is only going to sound smarter and smarter as the month goes on.
