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.

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.

Google AdWords Gets A New Interface

March 27th, 2009 1 Comment »

I just logged in the new interface of Google Adwords. The look and feel of the new AdWords is now very much like Google Analytics.

First screenshots of the new Google AdWords interface.

Do you like how it looks like? To fuel the fire, I’m using Google AdWords everyday and I can definitely say that this is a huge improvement. The new ajaxy interface gives it a desktop-app-like feel. I’ve tried loading it in Google Chrome and was blazing fast. The old interface for me was very clunky and slow. So any improvement from that is a jump ahead.

Kudos to the Google AdWords team for making this improvement. It’s really cool!
