I don't quite get how C2C works. Does anyone understand it?

its simple..
if you see a C2C ad, you provide your home/cellphone number, and then the company that was on the ad will contact you shortly.

correct me if im wrong guys.. :)

Jake, I am not sure why you use the .tiff file format for your screen scraps.. what application are using to do screen captures ?

you are forcing people to open/download an "untrusted" source.. in my case, at least I know you as active participant..but you need to consider that other also ..

...just my 2 cents :)-

I'm using Grab. Sorry – I usually resave the files in JPEG, but I didn't have time this time. Here's the JPEG ones:

David, Here's how it works: When you click the phone icon, you can enter your phone number. Once you click 'Connect For Free,' Google calls the number you provided. When you pick up, you hear ringing on the other end as Google connects you to the other party. Then, chat away

Yeah, when the C2C feature was launched in the UK, someone listed a few searches that had it, none of them have now.
