- benlong, on 10/12/2007, -8/+42you never had to scroll to the bottom to reply. you could have simply hit the 'R' key.
- Djerrid, on 10/12/2007, -4/+23The "show details" info has changed, too. Much cleaner.
Also, I'm glad that I don't have to scroll down to the bottom to reply anymore. - Four20, on 10/12/2007, -5/+22shhhs, now this guy won't get money from his blog's adsense
- phezz, on 10/12/2007, -6/+22More a dupe of your blog spam
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -1/+17Awww what are you gonna cry now?
Sheesh... - johnwp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about_whatsnew.html
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15There are some aspects of Yahoo's interface I prefer over Gmail's, but honestly, Google has them beat in four very important areas, not to mention space:
1. Forwarding and POP access (you have to pay for these basic features in Yahoo)
2. Search
3. Way less obtrusive ads
4. Filters. Yahoo's filters downright suck, and you only get 15 of them.
5. Labels are, once you get used to them and realize they are essentially a solid improvement, better than folders.
For those who are no doubt about to tell me you can simply upgrade Yahoo Mail to get those features I mentioned, I offer this: telling me that I have to pay to get a feature already offered for free on a different platform whose interface I already find superior is a rather terrible argument.
As for Live Mail, I haven't used it enough to give a good opinion on the matter, though I do think Gmail and Yahoo still have it beat (it is a definite improvement over the old Hotmail interface, however).
There are certainly areas Gmail can improve on; don't get me wrong there--but I think that it is still ahead of the game. - masamunecyrus, on 10/12/2007, -3/+16@iamcitizen:
That happened on July 1st. Here's the official Google Blog post on it:
http://googlesystem.blogspot.com/2006/07/delete-all-spam-in-gmail.html - Ryetronics, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11No one cares.
- benlong, on 10/12/2007, -2/+12Another 'wow' feature that isn't obvious:
While I was reading a conversation (gmail email), a little message popped up on the bottom right that said 'Person's Name has added to the conversation. Click here to update the conversation with his reply' (something like that anyways).
And presto, the new email we merged into the existing conversation. Pretty freakin cool. - archlich, on 10/12/2007, -4/+13Care to elaborate on what points?
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9I honestly can't think of a single reason I'd rather use msn or yahoo.
- burke, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8mjm0101010
Speaking of Grammar... trailing periods? I believe that's an ellipsis.
Also, don't capitalize Random Words partway through A sentence.
Thanks,
TerminologyNazi - markr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I love labels, but wish that you could have a hierarchy of them - for example a work label and then some sub labels for each project you're working on.
I've got about 30 labels and they're a bit unwieldy! - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+11MSN and Yahoo are butt-ugly and have really bad spam filtering in my experience. Gmail is beautiful, it's got great spam-filtering and most importantly, it's got 2 gigs of space. I could probably use it as a webhost if I wanted to.
...Hmm... - sporb, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7because people like gmail
- ioral, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@juicygossip
spoken like someone who doesn't know how to use tags or create filters with arbitrary text boolean conditions. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7@masamunecyrus:
Sorry, I forgot to specify that the "Delete All Messages in Spam" button has now been moved to the top of the page. - benlong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6Because in approx 3 hours it had over 300 diggs. Sounds like a good reason to me.
- chrishutchins, on 12/17/2008, -2/+7Another feature I just noticed is that the option to "Open in Google Spreadsheets" is given for .xls files.
- CJM32, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Digg has become nothing more then "Oh look this guy submitted it we all like him so we will digg it" Which you can tell from the fact this is a dupe from long ago. I am so disappointed in what digg has become in the past 6 months. This crap and a lot of the other stuff should never make the front page
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5gmail is still beta :>
- reddevil3, on 10/12/2007, -5/+10I absolutely love the Yahoo and MSN interface what with their bloated interface and less than 2 gigs space.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6HOTMAIL IS A JOKE COMPARED TO GMAIL.
and those chain letters that go around hotmail that say:
if you dont send this to all your contacts you will have to pay for hotmail. haha and morons actually fall for that *****.
Get gmail or get off the net! - yonis, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6Especially when this guy pluralized the word "features" with an apostrophe.
Grammar on the Internet is a lost art... - serend, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4not new that was added when they added the ability to map any address that's in an email. still handy but not new
- br0ck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I wish Digg would add the same "Embarassment-reducing new message notifications" feature. It would be great to see a message like 'In the time you've been typing your reply, three people have replied to the same user, would you like to view their posts before submitting?', before submitting the same exact comment as someone else.
- benlong, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2
Offline chat is the future! Or was it the past? I don't know =o) - MrCalifornia, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I've been hoping for this forever. Nice add google.
- Taomyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1New changes don't appear when account is set to English (UK) :-( - as it's soooo difficult to translate!
- kalmi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Bips's and Spacebar's post are dupe of each other....
LOL, and they are complaining - AkshayGenius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1These are good, nifty new features, which should have been there before, but, afterall, Gmail is still in BETA...
- stoppedcode12, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2wow, digg is looking like Kevin's old blog pages. The comments section have spam in them. ('Dupe' by nextbigthang, and 'bury MEEEEEeeee' by c5mjohn) And although I've seen worst on other blogs, I don't think this was ever a problem on digg before.
- nateisablog, on 10/10/2008, -0/+1Anyone reading this sort of digg article should be careful that this doesn't happen to them. LOL
http://nosesplash.com/nate-is-a-blog/166-how-many- ... - spiffytech, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Just yesterday, I was thinking it would be nice to have a way to forward the entire conversation.
- Vindstille, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I had loved to see Google added a "recall mail" feature.
- rikardos, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1and what is the best, offline messages finally work in GTalk and are stored in Chats history . One more thing I'd like to see are transports to ICQ and MSN
- dorkusmalorkus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The internet be a harsh mistress...and whining doesn't help. Just create an account that isn't the EXACT SAME as your website and it might get you further along. Wait, what did I just say?
- ericnmu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1still wish gmail would could check external pop3 accounts. Then I'll never have to use my schools crappy email server or be forced to purchase yahoo mail plus.
- ChanKaiShi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You have to log off and log back to see new features for those who can't see new features.
Also for me a offline chat is a killer add-on which was missing from Gtalk. - garbelini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1And it keeps getting better and better.
- djrtitan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh how I love blog spam, here's the real link: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about_whatsnew.html
- aeroplanedigger, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Gmail is pretty awesome for a web-based interface, the new Yahoo looks to be ten thousand times better though. Plus Gmail looks silly color-wise on a mac to me.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1As quickly as stuff propagates on Digg, coupled with the fact that the digg promotion algorithm unfairly weights certain stories, means that there will always be dupes.
But dupes are fine, since a lot of people don't spend all day on Digg. So if I miss it the first time, and its getting submitted a lot, then I'll probably see it come up again.
The problem is when too many people just comment "dupe", like they have some sort of ownership of the story.
I agree with the idea that stories should be submitted anonymously. What benefit is it to ANYONE that you get 'points' for submitting stories?? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I keep getting script errors in FF. It crashes the browser. That makes me a sad panda.
- apollo13, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3Lets have these too on digg's home page..
01. google.com has increased the searchbox by 2 pixels
02. YouTube's logo has got a new shade change in its G part of RGB
03. How to create a transperant logo in photoshop
04. 2 reasons why you should not shutdown your windows?
05. Kevin Rose has got new web 2.0 hair cut..
Dump the crap on us buddies...dump your spam on us. - zeeky, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Unfortunately, it seems that the dropdown doesn't work in Safari, but I'm so glad they chose not to hide it from Safari users, because sometimes I really have the urge to push that button.
- cjohnson7, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0@juicygossip
I believe it's the other way around. - dreimanis, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1agreed. but this is only human. live with it.
- ninamorena, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah I noticed it this morning after logging in. At first I thought it was a Greesemonkey addition I made... LOL Good look Gmail.
