Gmail Adds Inbox Preview
In a rush to check your Gmail account? Maybe you’re on dialup and its slow, or you’ve just got a couple of seconds to check your inbox, or maybe your Gmail loads slow for some reason and you just want to see if you have any new email. What do you do?
Gmail presents New in Labs: Inbox Preview – just turn this feature on and when you see the “Loading you@gmail.com” message you get a plain text representation of the the first 10 messages in your inbox – including at-a-glance whether or not they are read or unread.
Mission accomplished – thanks again Gmail. It might not be the biggest hit, but some folks will surely live off of this new feature.

Google Retiring the Old Adsense Interface
about 7 months ago - No comments
I got an email today about Google retiring the old Adsense interface, which they’ve been developing for a while now.

Greener Google? Sure.

Gmail is cooler in the cloud. Literally. Google’s point is that cloud-based services (which are ever more popular) use less energy than their traditional counterparts. Of course, their post doesn’t make such a broad claim, they focus on some of their services and also said: Cloud computing is secure, simple, keeps you productive and saves
