Twitter is a social enigma that is just uber-popular, but now everyone is getting in to the business of cloning Twitter.

The process is kind of confusing in its application, but everyone seems to like sharing their links and their activities.

My perspective on Twitter is it’s the best search engine in the world because it’s live, actual links, people are using are being submitted to Twitter and searches can be issued against it and most likely you can find what your looking for. And so, why wouldn’t Google be interested in this type of service?

Google is ever expanding, ever improving and they’ve made a good choice with encrypting all email communications HTTPS sessions.

Gmail did have options before for HTTPS, but now they’re here by default.

And according to the website press, updated today [01/14/2010], even if you turn off the HTTPS session the login page will always be encrypted.

Here’s what I did to get it working…

eMclient has presented itself as the alternative to Microsoft Outlook and while it has many competitive features, apparently it’s not ready enough to break the finish line ribbon.

Nothing would make me happier than to be able to post an absolutely outrageous and fantastic review about eMclient, but the latest release of this application, after months of waiting, was a little bit of a disappointment to me.

About a week ago the latest revision of eMclient was released, version 2. I had a previous version of eMclient and when I downloaded the next version [v2] I had some difficulties with the upgrade process. I had e-mailed the authors and I didn’t get an immediate response, but I was able to contact them through Twitter. through Twitter I got a quick response from one of the support staff and they gave me the information that needed to be able to clear out the previous installation completely and then start all over. This wasn’t a big deal because I wasn’t using eMclient as my primary e-mail program.
