I have been thinking about writing on GMail for a while now.  Finally, a post on Prashant Mullick’s blog<\/a> on some nifty add-ons for GMail made me put pen to paper (or ‘mouse to screen’)…<\/p>\n

I’d been wishing I had a GMail account for some weeks when I got the invite from an old (techie) friend.  At the outset, I must say I was impressed to find that “1000 MB of storage space” is not all it had to offer :  <\/p>\n

\n

The interface is incredibly fast (Uses JavaScript instead of HTML\/ASP)<\/p>\n

The “Labels” feature allows virtual storage of the same message under multiple content heads, so there’s no need to store emails in specific folders any more, and retrieval is also a breeze<\/p>\n

The “Search” feature is (naturally) excellent and the “Keyboard Shortcuts” are simply amazing<\/p>\n

Thanks to the ads (that are very discreet, text-only and relevant), the service is FREE!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

To top it all, courtesy Mullick’s post, I now know of some really nice add-ons to GMail<\/a> that will make life even more comfortable!<\/p>\n

Bottom line : If you get a GMail<\/a> account, grab it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
