Comments on: Open letter to Google’s HELLO/Picasa team http://savehello.org/2008/05/open-letter-to-googles-hello-picasa-team/ an attempt to save the HELLO instant messaging service powered by Google Wed, 03 Dec 2008 22:49:45 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Errant http://savehello.org/2008/05/open-letter-to-googles-hello-picasa-team/#comment-344 Errant Mon, 03 Nov 2008 10:41:33 +0000 http://www.savehello.org/?p=1#comment-344 Guys. FYI (because NO ONE seems to have picked up on it). Google Hello was a MAJOR source of child pornography distribution. Of the cases we process (I work for a large computer forensics firm btw) around 70% used to use Google Hello to distribute images in an untracable way. I think the pressure on Google got too much - so they closed it down (and understnadably so). There is no real way of policing the system without infringing on other users privacy - so it was in the interests of all that it got shut down. It sucks but there ya go :) Guys.

My wife and I use(ed) Hello almost daily to send pictures of our kids to relatives (esp. our parents). It was the easiest program to use on both ends. Hopefully Hello (again) will be our savior.

I have converted many friends and family to it overseas - it is our only source for sharing and swapping pics of our loved ones we do not see everyday. I will be lost without it - please reconsider the closing of Hello. Please, please don’t shut down Hello.

Anyone know of any alternatives that allow you to share pics and chat then? Hopefully Yahoo comes out with one similar to teach Google a lesson they won't forget... Bring it back.
