Hello is going bye bye !! =(

[TammyKat]

Well I guess as of May 15th Hello will no longer be working !!

We did find another program that has the screenshot option called GOOBER. We just wanted to let everyone know so they could download the new one and get used to the new format. It is a little different but it has alot of features that Hello didn't have.

You can read about GOOBER and download it here:

My Goober ID is 460651

[littleginsu]

what?!?! why?!?!

[TammyKat]

All good things come to an end. So it is with sadness that we say goodbye to Hello.

Hello will be shut down on May 15th.

We originally embarked on a mission to make photo sharing easier and more fun with Hello. We plan to keep carrying that torch in new projects to come.

We hope that you continue to enjoy the other sharing products Google offers including Picasa, Picasa Web Albums and Google Talk.

Keep on sharing!

- The Hello Team

This is what they have on their site !! So sad!

[Neverland Scraps]

I didn't realize that about Hello! I have Goober though (and it actually works with my Yahoo!)
My Id---I couldn't tell you what it is :D

[Jennifer]

boo!

[proverbswoman]

Good grief! I just got Hello. Now I have to get Goober. :) And seriously, what kind of a name is that! LOL!

[fa11enan9e1]

I knoww! I just got Hello maybe two days ago. lol. that's what I get for following a trend. =P

[qtJessie(ScrapKitten)]

I jumped in LOL was going to get hello so i decided id try goober my id is...462296

[Jennifer]

lol, goober? what a name!

[KayJay]

Wow, what a big surprise.
After getting my 4th Hello ID, hello must be confused and so for the next week I think I am down to one user name: KattyZak

[KyRainbow]

I took the plunge...lol. My Goober (yikes) ID is 462304

[jaye]

You mean we have to be a number??!!! I don't want to be a number, I'm a number at work, I'm a number at the bank, I'm a number everywhere I go :bigcry:

Goober, reminds me of SpongeBob the movie, (I have a 10 yr. old son what can I say) and the Goofy Goober song.

[jaye]

Ok I just d/l and registered at Goober. My name is jaye and my Goober id is #462354

[tsavoie11]

Hi! I'm a goober now too! LOL! 462360

[scrappinmint]

:001_unsure: I have no idea what you all are even talking about. I'm so out of the loop. :(

[Aussiegirl]

:001_unsure: I have no idea what you all are even talking about. I'm so out of the loop. :(

You're not alone! I have yahoo messanger, but only because it was on the computer! Otherwise, I'm lost too! :) I'm glad that the rest of you are proud to call yourselves "goober's" though! :p

[jaye]

Goobers in the Orchard....is this a good thing? It brings up all kinds of visuals for me and they don't look good, lol.

Patti we're talking about messaging systems. Hello was a popular one and very easy to use and send screen shots with, Tammy let us know it is ceasing operations next week and mentioned using Goober as it's free also.

[TammyKat]

Yes..and it was awesome cuz it allowed you to do screenshots REALLY easily and it was fun to show stuff while you were working on something..or if you needed help on something...

So now..we will have to get used to a new messaging program...and the name of it is GOOBER ! :giggle: what a name ! lol

[scrapdog]

Many people are flooding Google and Picassa with requests to reconsider this decision. Hello is so much a part of my life I have no idea the real impact will be on my communication with my many online friends. Make our voices heard.

[KayJay]

Yes..and it was awesome cuz it allowed you to do screenshots REALLY easily and it was fun to show stuff while you were working on something..or if you needed help on something...

So true. I didn't have it for over a week on my new computer and so many times i wanted to share what I was working on.
So got my 4th ID and now they keep asking me for email confirmation - ugh, I am so going to miss it.
But I will get my goober number - probably after the weekend. Can I reuqest a catchy number so as not to forget it.

[Neverland Scraps]

Goober, reminds me of SpongeBob the movie, (I have a 10 yr. old son what can I say) and the Goofy Goober song.

That's okay, every time I log in Im signing that song--and I dont even watch Spongebob! :crylaff:

[QueenPamedalah]

I had heard this and hoped it was urban myth!! :) I will miss the convenience of HELLO. Even if I wasn't chatting, it was nice to see there are other addicted souls workign at their computer! LOL

A Goober, huh? Well, I guess I'm there. But, man, no screen name? What ever happened to "I am not a number! I am a free (wo)man!"

Yeah whats with the #s? If I was supposed to be a number my mother would have named me it...lol...anyway I took the goober plunge...my # is 462428

[emst]

I took the plunge too. Looks like a lot more features than Hello.
Here is my number 462435

[KayJay]

do you have to remember everyone else's number too?

[Fairytale_Studios]

Good grief! I just got Hello. Now I have to get Goober. :) And seriously, what kind of a name is that! LOL!


Same here, however I am downloaded Goober, my ID is: 462573

[proverbswoman]

Well, it's official. I've finally become a Goober! :) My id is 462276

[ehooton]

My hello just stopped working suddenly about a week ago. I guess I can stop worrying about trying to fix it. Uninstalling and reinstalling didn't even work. *goes to download GOOBER?!?*

[AmySumrall]

I think you can go my username too. Mine is AmySumrall

[KayJay]

True, Amy. I added a few people, like Amy, that I knew their names. I am KayJay

[proverbswoman]

I'm so glad you can add people by their names, then. Numbers are too confusing! :) Mine is proverbswoman.

[KayJay]

My hello quit working last night.
Added Goober to this computer and am also KayJayz - not sure how it is suppose to work though.

[peamissy]

Hey thanks for letting me know about the screenshot option Tammy! I was wanting that!! I will miss Hello! I like that people are telling Google/Picasa about how much they use Hello! I might have to do that if I can figure out where to send the email!

As others have said to me, I'd even pay a small annual fee to use Hello!

Ok, off to get gooberized!

[PamWhit]

Had a problem downloading Goober, then I decided to follow their instructions. Guess what, it actually worked. So goodbye to Hello, and hello to Goober (man, I hate that name!).

My new ID is 462898 -- hope to see y'all around on Goober

[alanajo]

Im so sad to lose Hello. Ill download Goober and see how it is.

[Jennifer]

I'm officially a goober now, lol. My number is 463027 and my ID is JenJen

[Mom_of_5]

From one goober to another -- I am MelanieK, 462733

[KayJay]

We had our first group chat last night and that is a very cool feature.

[Jennifer]

maybe I am a bit slow, but goober confuses me. can someone send me a message so I can try to figure it out?

[KayJay]

I can do that.

[Jennifer]

Kathy, HUGE thanks for the help you gave me!

[KayJay]

:welcome:

[theSassyScrapper]

Okay ladies! I've requested you all as friends and hopefully I got ya'll, but if not, I'm theSassyScrapper or #464435!

[tessthescrapper]

5/18 and hello is still working
They have changed their date to June 11. Maybe they will keep changing their date... lol.

[TammyKat]

i sure hope so ! I much rather have hello !

[proverbswoman]

I second that motion! Hello was much more user-friendly (at least for this particular user!) lol

[Jennifer]

I wish my hello would work!

[ehooton]

Me too!

[Jennifer]

I jsut tried it and it just sits there...no connections...

[KayJay]

Mine works most days.
Has anyone heard of Hi5? A friend of mine just requested me and thought I better check before I click.

[fa11enan9e1]

*pouts* i like hello more... but I did get Goober. Number is.... 463165

I have not heard of Hi5... maybe someone else has though.

[Jennifer]

hi5 is one of those networking sites like myspace but much more annoying, lol.
