Talk is Cheap

Google Labs is probably run by cloned masses of yours truly because they have come up with solution to all my email problems.

Here are just a few great examples:

-The Email 5 second undo button

-Store emails online

-Feature that prevents users from firing away drunken e-mails during late-night hours. (Don’t know how but they made it… about time!)

As the story goes, this was inspired by:

“Jon Perlow, a Gmail engineer, introduced the practical idea of "Mail Goggles" to help users, including himself, stop sending "mail you later regret." Perlow created the function last fall when he found himself sending messages to an ex-girlfriend -- late at night -- asking to get back together.”

-"forgotten attachment detector"; if the program finds the word "attachment" in the e-mail text, a box pops up reminding the user to add an attachment.

- "E-mail Addict" feature, which forces users to take a break from e-mailing by blocking Gmail for 15 minutes.
