Leave a voicemail with Google

How do you send a voice mail in Gmail? Use Gtalk as an intermediary (if not, move on to the next step; we need the English version, the Chinese one seems to have 8 lines). The current version of Gtalk is 1.0.0.98. After opening it, find the friend you want to send a voice mail to (regardless of whether they are online or not), then click "send voice mail" and you're all set! After the mail is sent, a new email labeled as "voicemail" will appear in that friend's Gmail. Since Gmail supports direct MP3 playback, he/she can hear your sweet voice directly within Gmail. In the future, if there’s something you can't say in person (like scolding someone?), you can secretly send them a voice mail. Those who can access Google Video can watch a video demonstration.

Friendly reminder: Be cautious when adding friends in the future. What if one day you receive a voice mail, open it happily, and end up being cursed for no reason? That wouldn’t be pleasant. Quickly check your friend list for any suspicious individuals.
