I have been using Gmail’s IMAP access for my Gmail account, as well as for my ask-mark.com e-mail that I have hosted with Gmail.

All the while, of course, I have still been using Flickr, del.icio.us and (if you consider it a social network) Google Reader. I even have a MySpace, although I have really only kept it for snooping around MySpace for work.

In the last DIggnation video podcast, they showed a large portion of the Zero Punctuation review of Guitar Hero III. Having just played plenty of Guitar Hero over the weekend, I found the review to be pretty damned funny. Check it out after the jump.
