Firefox

It’ll be cool if Google tells the publishers about it or at least clarifies about that how are they selecting the sources of the related pages section of the Gmail sidebar.

虽然网络一直蓬勃地发展，但在网络上充分地相信别人，总是有危险的。但我希望从买这个手机之后，我的家人可以对我多一些放心。同样是手机，我的索爱J300C去年买的时候花了不到700元。今年遇到的朋友们都劝我，该换了；智勇买了黑莓，不到600元，也和我炫耀~~。不是拿不出换手机的钱，只是缺乏需求。而在火车上，我居然发现Gmail居然有专门给索爱用的客户端，实在是惊讶。最近我们即将在HDU引入一个索爱的新项目，说白了就是拿学生来做小白鼠──不过我还是比较有欲望去体验下索爱的新业务的。连这个移动设备制造商也一头扎到学生中去，感叹做学生真好阿。

Finalmente destacar la nueva opción que nos permite hacer búsquedas en Gmail directamente

Obvious, you might say. But is it? Think back to what Google did. And I mean before Adsense/Adwords, Gmail, and so on. They built search.

I’ve been a user of GrandCentral for a few months, so I’m excited to see that it’s been scooped up by Google and will become a part of its communication interface (expect to see some kind of a tie-in with GTalk and GMail).

LinkedIn and Paxlo have started to solve this by using the APIs of tools/services such as Hotmail, GMail, AOL etc to pull in you list of contacts.

Is email broken? I think most people would agree that the situation with email is at best uncomfortable, and at worst downright unusable for some people. I have been using email for about 20 years now, as I had an email account (via packet radio) way before the web was around (the Internet predates the web, anyone remember Gopher?). And at Universities we’ve had good email for a long time. I am lucky, as here at UWE we now have several levels of spam filtering that can be deployed, and I have my own at the client level as well. That means I see very little of the spam that some people get. I also use Gmail, and the spam filtering in that is excellent. But, for the majority of people, its a downright mess.

But, according to Markezine (in Japanese), Google Japan now offers mobile Gmail; namely, Docomo, AU, and Softbank. Yes, Softbank, which is strongly affiliated with Yahoo Japan. I used to afraid Google might be more integrated with AU; but glad to see they include docomo and rival softbank, even.

今天终于拿到了票，不过只有一张到沈阳的所以还要转下车，已经让老苍帮我提前买另一段的票，下车就可以跳上另一趟啦。刚刚尝试了手机版的Google，Gmail更酷些，甚至提供下载客户端JAVA软件，收发邮件的界面类似于用PC，相当的友好。不过个人感觉用网页收发快点，而且数据量也很小，打开一封信件只要3、4K的样子。5M的包月数据量，走到哪里都可以surf online了=)

La gente de Yahoo! Argentina actualizó el servicio de correo. Renovaron la imagen, estructura y funcionalidad. Creo que con estos cambios, pasa a ser el mejor servio de correo electrónico entre los 3 grandes… Por más que me gustaban Gmail (beta) y WL Mail (beta) el nuevo correo de Yahoo! se pasó! Para los que ya tenían una cuenta, cuando se logueen les va a aparecer una ventana invitándolos a probar la nueva versión o para decir que luego lo harán.

What you need to do: Sign up for a free account, easy if you have a gmail account,(if you don’t tell me, I will send you an invitation) or sign up with your other email ID. Then head over to the blogs you want to keep in touch with and find a button that says “FEED” (or subscribe) it’s usually bright orange and easy to find. Click on the link and follow onscreen instructions.

Google Apps for Your Domain service combines Google start page, Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Talk, and Google Page Creator. Includes Administrator’s control panel for managing services and users, you can add up to 100 users and make the services work with your own domain just like yourname@yourdomain.com and check your email with a Gmail interface. They either let you use a domain you’ve already registered or register a new domain for $10 a year.

La semana pasada Google introdujo unas cuantas características nuevas en Gmail, como la opción de poder hacer forward de una conversación entera y no de un solo correo.

Two recent developments in Google’s ever-expanding assortment of online applications show real promise: Google Docs and Spreadsheets and Picasa Web Albums.

Provate ad accedere alla vostra Gmail, e noterete la comparsa di una nuova voce nella barra laterale (vedi screenshot sotto, evidenziata da una freccia rossa).

I signed up tikirobot.net for “Google Apps for Your Domain” to see what all the fuss is about. It’s pretty cool! You get mail from Gmail, calendaring from Google Calendar, and Google Talk, and Google Page Creator, if you want that. The signup process is pretty painless, given what they’re providing.

They asked advice from a comedian, a girl who’s own video became a hit and professional viral marketers. They posted their video on YouTube, created a Gmail account and a MySace page to track interest.

Esta herramienta te permite usar tu cuenta de gmail como espacio en el web, simula un drive que se encuentra en my pc o my computer que dice gmail drive y alli arrastras o pegas los archivos y despues te manda el e-mail con los datos adjuntos a tu cuenta de gmail en la web, de alli le reenvias el correo a quien quieres que tenga el archivo.

i downloaded some extensions today that make my life ‘online’ so much easier. I have a gmail notifier, some gmail space where you can drag an image to a gmail ftp server & it’ll not only save it on the server but it’ll e-mail the image to your gmail acct, say if you want to save something for later.

In search of using calm technology in our project, we have come up with a friendly-looking stuffed-rabbit that speaks out your gmail, according to your preset preferences on the web. This way, you do not have to solely rely on your personal computer to retrieve your emails. The user has the freedom to preset the importance of his emails, and categorize them as well as be alerted when a new email is received. They can also have personal messages recorded, allowing for the voice to be transmitted. Essentially, we have chosen to use RF (Radio Frequency) as a method to transmit and receive data between the doll and the internet, and a set of walkie talkies to output the emails using Text-to-speech technology, while also allowing for the use of personal speech. Radio Frequency can travel up to 125ft and the walkie talkies transmit and receive up to a distance of 5 miles.

After surfing across Lifehacker’s post about how to easily get a Yahoo! Mail Beta account, I decided to take it for a spin. Following those directions was easy enough and I found myself with a new Y! Mail Beta account within 5 minutes. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. I had seen screenshots of the fancy interface, which was purported to mimic a desktop email client, floating around the internet months before. Hopefully Yahoo has their eyes set on the future with mail beta and plan on setting themselves apart from Google and their popular Gmail.

I found the UI of Google lame, for sure it’s been well engineered with Ajax deftly applied, but the fundamental ‘what you can see on the screen’ Vs. ‘what you can’t and scroll / click for’ is all wrong. Ironic, since their email (Gmail) is drop-dead gorgeous.

Muss erst selbst ein wenig damit rumspielen. Ein erstes extrem positives Feedback, insbesondere zur GMail-Integration bei Techcrunch. Aber testet es am Besten selbst mal unter http://calendar.google.com.

Otras características interesantes incluyen la posibilidad de crear varios calendarios, la integración con Gmail (se pueden crear eventos o citas a partir de mensajes recibidos), la creación rápida de citas ("desayuno de trabajo tomorrow 1pm"), las áreas de discusión para cada evento, y la facilidad de invitar a otros usuarios a un evento, y pedir confirmaciones de asistencia.

Begininng today at http://www.google.com/calendar, is designed to make it easy for users to add entries. Gmail, Google’s mail service, has been modified to automatically recognize when messages mention an event so recipients can seamlessly add it to their calendar. Users can also add entries in simple text, such as “Coffee with Mom on Sunday at 11 a.m. at Cafe La Boheme,” eliminating the need to fill out forms.

Leaked news! Google’s next Gmail integration - CL2. Visit TechCrunch for some exlusive screenshots of Google Calendar.

Well as predicted, Calendars would be a big thing, in a previous post Google are just about to realease a calendar application called CL2 according to TechCrunch. The interface is similar to GMail so it'll get huge uptake as people are used to it. I guess the main question I have is can you get to it using a Web Service or API because you could use this calendar system to add, edit, insert and then pull out the information using RSS.

15) Check my spam. This isn’t compulsive but the reason my gmail account was suspended, I realize as I get at least 400 a day. Didn’t delete it for nine days, paid the price.

There’s a nifty little Firefox extension that lets you skin Gmail. Features include:

Another key quote

Google's corporate mantra, "Don't Be Evil," lost some of its resonance last month when it started a Chinese version of its popular search engine that doesn't provide links to content deemed unacceptable by the government.

points out the irony and double-speak that these companies use. It makes me ashamed to say that I use Yahoo! DSL and Gmail.

A Ajax application is an implementation where a user would have no expectation to be able to copy URLs and interact with the applicatoin using many of the web conventions. GMail is an excellent example of this. Should you choose to forward an email to a friend, you wouldn't copy the URL.

Today I wrote an e-mail to Becky using links, like I am doing during this very blog. It made writing the e-mail more fun because if I was unsure whether or not she would know of something or someone in my e-mail, I just linked to that thing or person. For example, I told her about a dream I had where Christopher Walken was a conquistador. I linked “Christopher Walken” to a page listing his works from Internet Movie Data Base, and conquistador to a web site about Spanish Conquistadors. Not only did writing in this way serve as a means of information, it was also fun. I linked normal words to online dictionary definitions and wikipedia entries. I wrote about a friend of ours and linked to a picture of her on my blog. I did it using gmail, but I bet other mail services enable linking as well. I strongly recommend that everyone try it.

Google announced the upcoming linking of GoogleTalk and GoogleMail, thus allowing Gmail users to quickly send instant messages to their contacts, without the need for a heavy, platform dependant chat application. A Gmail chat help page is available, showing basic features of this GoogleTalk integration within Gmail.

今天登出Gamil時才發現的這個消息..Google已把及時對談(chat)的功能加進Gmail當中..網路信箱中相當革命性的改進，誰會想到要讓信箱也能當通訊軟體般說話聊天？

With this technology new applications pop-up all around the web, made with Ajax, Atlas or Rails on Ruby. Some of the applications are already wellknown. Like GMail and Flickr.

email (person to person communications) -> hotmail -> gmail / live mail (nothing special here yet) -> ??

Google.vc is “very cool”, ha ha. It contains an implementation of Google X, the latest articles from the Google blog, the Google press center, and Yahoo Finance on Google, as well as the top ten gainers from Zeitgeist, the Gmail storage counter, top Google News stories, and some Google stock tracking. It even has a link you can email for a Gmail invite.

Isn’t it smashing? I’ve always wondered how my blog friends got theirs but never thought to ask. Now I chance upon this.

So maybe the time is coming for us to bid farewell to Google and its engine. To withdraw our accounts at Blogger.com. And to stop collecting our email on gmail. If the Internet is to bring genuine freedom to the world, we need to show the big companies that when it comes to the Internet, the World is bigger even than China!

I’ve had this installed for a couple of days now and it works pretty well! I tested it by posting a meme to my LJ account. Well, that didn’t turn out too well as it didn’t read the code for the meme correctly. Other than that, it’s pretty nifty for just basic blogging itself. You will get a small icon at the bottom of your browser window, next to the Gmail notifier, if you use it. You just click it and a small window will pop up which you can move up and down to still see the main Firefox window.

While everyone is busy implementing AJAX on every webpage they administer, and while I do not deny the beautiful simplicity and aesthetic design of an AJAX powered page (just look at how nice Gmail is to use, with instant marking of read/unread messages; or how nice the IPB 2.1 registration page is..) everyone seems to have forgotten something about the original foundations of AJAX. What it is, how it works, why it is not necessarily the best of ideas… In short, why it is best left well alone.

As previous posting, now I am trying to switch partially (to store) my email from Yahoo to Gmail. I believe that now many of us already have gmail account(s), but I think it is not too late if I would share this opportunity to others who doesn’t have. Currently I have many invitations remaining. Please leave your comment if you wish to get it one, subject to availability.

Moving e-mail from POP3 or IMAP to Gmail is not exactly an easy thing … nor particularly clean. It seems that, no matter what you try, there’s not a way to maintain the original message date/time stamping. So, transferred stuff ends up as “newer” than your new mail, if that makes any sense.

Ok. Yeah the whole @aol.com is a great reference. What about @gmail.com? If I was working with someone on something technical and they didn’t have a gmail account (even if they don’t use it) I would think they are kind of weird. In no way would I look ‘down’ at them because they had a Shared email account. Blogspot, typepad are fine services. Many well-know people use these services because it meets their needs.

looks pretty cool me thinks. PLUS with Google Calender for gmail coming veeery soon it’ll be a pretty mint service

设置分享文件的步骤非常的简单，你可以选择分享自己所有的附件，或者分享某一个label下面的附件，设置以后索引一下文件，别人便可以方便的下载，索引的操作系统每天会自动进行。 又有人要打Gmail的主意，创意当然是非常出色，可以充分的利用Gmail提供的空间，可是Google真的会看着自己的带宽白白浪费掉么？采取措施应该是个时间问题，很佩服G2G的勇气，但很难想像G2G能坚持多长时间。为了安全起见，建议用G2G之前先新建一个Gmail的账户，就算被封也不会有太大损失。

I know most of you didn’t enjoyed using MSN’s hotmail, instead you all prefer Yahoo! Mail or Google’s Gmail. This post is going to talk Hotmail, get the most of Hotmail. As you know that hotmail only gave 2MB of free space for non-US users, so, I’m going to talk about how to get 25MB instead of 2MB, later the 25MB of free space will become 250MB if you stay active in next 30 days.

gDisk: “...is software that turns your GMail account into a portable hard drive so you can always have your important files accessible accross the Internet…”

I recently heard about a new webmail client from my friend Justin, who’s infatuated with it. RoundCube, a “browser-based multilingual IMAP client with an application-like user interface,” is the latest and greatest webmail client. It’s only in the alpha stage of development, which explains the jagged installation procedures, but that doesn’t mean it can’t kick some major squirrels. RoundCube is much smaller, scalable, and less resource intensive than another competitor, Zimbra, which weighs in at 150 megabytes. The interface is the stunning with lots of AJAX magic as well as user configurable via XHTML and CSS 2 skinning. I love RoundCube so much, I’m declaring it better than Gmail. Yes, you read that correctly. Hopefully by the end of this article you will have a fully functioning RoundCube webmail client on your server.

Today I stumbled upon Flock, which is basically Firefox's cousin that likes to keep in touch with everyone. It is built off of the same code (Mozilla) so you know its rock solid, though they underpromise. Well it is really good at helping you keep track of sites through starring, which makes a tag and a comment, and then you continue surfing. The star is like gmail, when you star a favorite message, though it uses del.icio.us (stores a list of your favorite sites online). The next thing that is cool is integrated flickr (online photo album) which goes best with the integrated blog, in my case blogger. You get a window that you can drag flickr images in, create tags for organization and searchability.

i thought the logo in the top left of my gmail google email account looked a little odd this morning

Let’s say, an online community where I can find a good friend, share my notion. You can find in at id-gmail (the largest online community in my country I even join). This community provide me with fresh idea, smile, good people, and many more. We also have our TAO.

I don’t know what is going on right now but email is arriving up to 22 hours late to my inbox. Well, 22 hours as of yet so it must have started at about 8pm last night. I would think there might be a reason for this if it were email going through my hosting provider or something, but this is gmail! I’m going crazy! I don’t know whether people aren’t emailing me or if the emails just haven’t gotten to my inbox.

Kayko (Parmeshwar) and I were discussing about Gmail and Yahoo interfaces … and both agreed that AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript + XML) components indeed provide Gmail the upper hand. In AJAX, only user interface elements that contain new information are updated; the rest of the user interface remains displayed without interruption. Also the request/response can be asynchronous, disconnecting user interaction from server interaction. As a result, the user can continue to use the application while the client program requests information from the server in the background. When new information arrives, only the related user interface portion is updated.

Meeting the Web 2.0 critereon Google Reader is in Beta, and probably will be for at least a year - so I'm not complaining - and with the development of this service we may see closer links emerging (and disappearing) between email and RSS. In other words, if gmail eventually offers RSS subscription services I can get rid of my email subscriptions, replace them with RSS subscriptions - and hopefully do what all readers I've seen so far don't do - archive content!

The main effect of the Gmail success is that the biggest companies that offers web-based email systems (like Microsoft and Yahoo) are working to improve their tools.

A little while ago I blogged about the fact that I now use Gmail for all my email and Bloglines for my RSS feeds. The thing I noted that was missing was the ability to write documents and sotre files online.

Well, that day has come. Take a look at ThinkFree office. It’s a nice set of MS office compatible apps that all run online through java. You get online storage thrown in too.

I was recently going through a nice list of Gmail Tips maintained by Jim Barr, it has a lot of useful tips out of which tip 25 tells you how you can create a label named "Unread" which automatically displays all the mails which are not yet read by you (not just in inbox or just in one label, but in your full email account). But when I tried creating such a label gmail didn't allow me, so I tried creating a label named "Unread2" and then tried renaming it to "Unread" that's when I got a message saying "System specific label names are not allowed. Please try another label".

Gmail now includes the feature to choose which email address you send from. I have been waiting for this feature for a while and its great if you want to use gmail for work etc. As pointed out by RIP’s devco.net there hasn’t been much press about it, but its a big bonus for many users.

Regarding to latest Ajax applications I believe in a few years average user will not need operating system any more. Even today we read mail over the web (Gmail, Outlook Web Access), we can write in a quite good editor (FreeTextBox, ...), there are available Excel like applications, calculators, image editing, document and image sharing applications... It is possible that in few years we would carry around only a key from where latest browser application will start up on any Internet connected computer.

To use Google Talk you need a Gmail account. If you don’t have one yet, leave a comment (and a valid email address to contact you) and I’ll send you an invite. I have about 50 Gmail invites left.

(a) ask for a ‘delete all from spam folder’ button in gmail

Social computing theories are about looking at the way computers are used and changing the design to better suit those needs. A good example of this is how google's gmail stores attachments. It would be easy to add 10000 more hard drives so everyone could have 1GB of email but that doesnt "solve" the problem, so what they do is they store ONE copy of an attachment and everybody "shares" that copy. Think about it... how often do you send the same silly video to like 1000 people, why have 1000 copies. Now, multiply that by the ENTIRE WORLD of internet users. You see the savings quickly.

Have you ever tried sending email to your Gmail id without the dot “.”? It will be still delivered to your inbox. So for Gmail fname.lname@gmail.com and fnamelname@gmail.com is one and the same thing, so any email sent to these IDs will be delivered to my fname.lname@gmail.com inbox.

It would appear I have a problem with Wordpress not sending comments and mail from the PXS Mail Form to Gmail.

With Gmail crashing Firefox? Am I the only one experiencing this?

According to Heiss Online, Google is not longer handing out Gmail accounts in Germany, in an attempt to avoid a local trademark dispute over the Gmail name. Rather, they are handing out GoogleMail.com accounts.

if you have x.y@gmail.com and your friend happens to write to xy@gmail.com by mistake you still get the email. Vice versa works as well.

SiliconBeat points to a GreaseMonkey script that adds a “delete” button to Gmail, which doesn’t normally have one. Very cool.

A fantastic article on EvHead, about how to base your entire small business infrastructure around web apps like basecamp, gmail etc.

Da qualche giorno (io me ne sono accorto oggi) è possibile utilizzare la casella di posta elettronica su Gmail utilizzando un qualsiasi client di posta elettronica (come Outlook o Thunderbird sia in ambiente Win che Mac che Linux) che sfutta il diffuso protocollo POP.

I log all my conversations (to find old facts or links), but since I use 3 different computers, the log I need to read is usually on another machine. Problem solved, has created a cool plugin that automatically logs all conversations to GMail.

I’ve tried a few of the scripts that are floating around the net for backing up del.icio.us to Gmail. The easiest one by far to get up and running with minimal dependencies would be Bill Mill’s version. The end result will backup your entire del.icio.us links collection to your 2GB Gmail account.
