I guess that probably helps to build a (smaller) but very devoted fan base, and then they can cherry-pick the most popular items and make them mainstream, like the aforementioned colored labels.<br /><br />Basically, Google's having its fanboys do some of their product testing and market research for them.

I use it many times a day.<br /><br />Since i often prefer deleting to archiving, i use GMail mute like this: i put a "delete me" label on the conversation and then mute it and every couple of weeks delete everything under that label. This mode of work has made me much more productive.<br /><br />I need the label, because sometimes i want to mute a conversation, but keep it archived. I wish i could do it in one click.Amirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18432457938574709371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-58339205921350459012009-10-09T04:55:14.068-07:002009-10-09T04:55:14.068-07:00Mouse gestures, Multiple Inboxes, YouTube previews...Mouse gestures, Multiple Inboxes, YouTube previews in mail, Picasa previews in mail, Flickr previews in mail and Yelp previews in mail...

I've never really used the Chrome docking options... I prefer the browser to be nearly the size of my screen and never smaller. Someone said that Gmail should get rid of "labels"? Are they joking? Should other email clients get rid of "folders"? They're the same thing, only labels have additional advantages. I use Google Reader's "like" feature every single day, more than once. The "I'm Feeling Lucky" button is going to remain there, only because the purists would REVOLT if it were removed, in the same way they would REVOLT if a single new word were added to the classic home page.StareClips.comhttp://www.stareclips.com/?googlenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-10453060129349005282009-10-08T21:07:05.525-07:002009-10-08T21:07:05.525-07:00I use #2 very frequently, #1 from time to time.I use #2 very frequently, #1 from time to time.Steffennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18157064.post-13812370105366723812009-10-08T21:04:10.617-07:002009-10-08T21:04:10.617-07:00I use Google Chrome's docking positions featur...I use Google Chrome's docking positions feature.
