Top 5 Gmail Updates for 2010 (So Far)
My choices for the top 5 Gmail changes, updates, and features added in 2010 (so far). Mostly these are useful changes for Gmail users, though some are visual changes and re-organization (which result in improved user experience):
- Drag and Drop attachments into Gmail
Darg-n-drop your files from your computer onto Gmail without going through the whole attach a file process - Drag and Drop attachments to your desktop
Drag-n-drop attachments from Gmail right onto your desktop instead of downloading - Updated Gmail & Contacts
This was a great overhaul of contacts and a slight change to the Gmail look - Turn off Conversation View
Not one I’d use, but many users certainly want the ability to turn off conversation threading and view emails all as separate messages just like in “standard” email programs - New Gmail Themes
5 new themes were added to give users more choices

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. But, to be fair, maybe the old interface isn’t better, maybe I am just resisting the change. At first, the new interface was unwelcome, because I’d just gotten used to using the old one. Then, I

That Google +1 button is sprouting everywhere, and now the +1 button is slated to appear in Adsense ads. Below is an example from the Adsense Insider blog. Now your “social friends” can see what ads you like … I don’t know if that’s good or not, but its good for Google whose ads will

Google has released its Gmail and Gmail mobile in Persian today.

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

“Yahoo! Acquires eGroups” AND “Google Acquires Neotonic” Those two news flashes are probably two of the more exciting statements Brandon Long has ever read – real life-changers. Under What did you do before joining Google? in the latest Faces of Gmail post, Brandon reveals he worked at eGroups, which was acquired by Yahoo! back in
Gmail Tip: Stars
about 8 months ago - No comments
The Gmail Blog yesterday posted a tip on using stars in Gmail. I’ve been using the free version of Active Inbox (AIB) to manage my email for probably over a year now. However, as Gmail makes routine changes that break the Active Inbox interface, and since AIB hasn’t rolled out changes addressing some features that
Gmail Labs Rolls out Email Preview Pane
about 9 months ago - No comments
I just read New in Labs: Preview Pane and I’m really glad to see you can now preview emails in Gmail. It can be difficult to get a feel for which emails to read and which to pass up for later. For most business users and many regular Gmail users, time savings and convenient features

Gmail will be rolling out options to change your inbox without diving into Mail Settings. In an interesting twist on Priority Inbox, and Multiple Inboxes, Google will be allowing you to easily switch between different Inbox views [when this new feature is rolled out].

Fo you have any theme for HTC phones. I saw some sites offering themese for HTC and the ones from Microsoft are useless.
And i would certainly apprpreciate if you give give me the stepp by step method of installing a theme on my blogspot. WordPress does that well and I am think of moving my domain to wordpress. Googles blog spot is mot self explanatory.

kena, I didn’t make any of those themes, but you can choose lots of custom color setups in the “Choose your own” — try this Settings > Themes > Choose your own colors.
Cathy, I’m not sure why email would take that long. But your family members could get email messages back telling them that their email has been delayed for several different reasons. I’d check to make sure they have spelled your email address right and that they don’t have 2 entires for you – one spelled right and one spelled wrong which can end up on re-sent emails that appear to take a long time to arrive.
Kally, you might try this link for HTC themes (and discussions about them) http://www.htc.com/us/search?q=themes and as for blogging, I find the community surrounding WordPress is very LARGE and its easy to find info to do almost anythign with a WP blog. WP is great with themes and you can also look into customizing themes (many ways to do that).
