I’ve seen them in email before, but never in gmail chat. Imagine by surprise and amusement when this showed up on chat this morning. PatriotWorld is a podcast created by one of pioneers of the podcast game Karen Cadoza. No, she is not attempting to scam money from anyone, her gmail was hacked. Below is the transcript:
patriotworld:hi
