Surely it is no box of chocolates, but for Poindexters like ourselves, this is not that bad of a gift from Microsoft and Google. Is it a coincidence that Microsoft decided to release MSN Soapbox and GMail for the public today? I think not.

Within the last couple of months, I wrote about both products. I wrote about GMail potentially undergoing changes on April 1st and about the 10 things I like about Soapbox since I got a Beta invite from a Microsoft employee.

Happy Valentines’ Day everyone.
