I love the look of the new Gmail buttons.
I still however dislike the fact that the “Archive” button is still beside “Report spam”.
I am also fully aware that Gmail offers an “Undo” link if you make a mistake. But sometimes, it may still be overlooked.
Look at the above screenshot and tell me what you think?
Here’s an announcement on their site:
Yahoo! acquires Xoopit.
Xoopit is joining Yahoo! to make the world’s best email even better.Yahoo! will be integrating both our photo sharing applications and our content indexing and discovery technology into Yahoo! Mail and other services over the coming months.
Xoopit has emerged as a leader in mail applications, indexing and content discovery. Yahoo! has recognized that Xoopit’s technology elevates photos to the forefront of people’s everyday email experiences. Mail is the original online photo sharing experience, and combining these two products results in an evolved inbox experience. Yahoo! Mail users can expect to see their mail become even more efficient, social and fun!
The Xoopit team would like to thank our users for all the support and guidance in developing a service that people love. We would also like to thank our angels and venture investors, Charles Moldow from Foundation Capital and Theresia Gouw Ranzetta from Accel Partners for wisdom and commitment along the way!
The official announcement from Yahoo! can be found here.
Dear Xoopit team, I hope you’ll never share our Gmail account information to Yahoo! Thanks and looking forward to the Yahoo! Mail integration.

At last, Google’s Gmail released a new lab feature today – Tasks. This cool feature directly competes with favorite to-do list services such as Remember The Milk (RTM) and Tada-List. Here’s a quick screenshot of the new feature below:
By the way, I love how unobtrusive it is and how it integrates well with your email. I’m definitely going to start using this over Tada-list which have been my list manager for a long time now. The only advantages (that I know) of tada-list right now are 1) It is stand-alone. No need to login/load your email. 2) It is easily shareable and 3) It is lightweight and it has a better/intuitive interface.
Meanwhile, Remember the Milk has been pushing cool features here and there. Thing is, I’ve never been accustomed to using it everyday, unlike Tada-list. But I’m sure a lot of people use it everyday.
To enable Gmail’s “Tasks”, go to Settings, click the Labs tab. Select “Enable” next to “Tasks” and then click “Save Changes” at the bottom. Then, after Gmail refreshes, on the left under the “Contacts” link, you’ll see a “Tasks” link.
A quick shortcut to your “Tasks” list is G+K (assuming you have keyboard shortcuts enabled) when you are logged in to Gmail.
