    • ebbv, on 01/02/2008, -1/+0I think she was talking about a form of Chives that has reached level 50 or something.
    • lskatz, on 01/02/2008, -0/+0I can't believe that she did that. I had to go back a few seconds and make sure that she said it.
  • EserVerx, on 01/02/2008, -0/+27the voice in the video tutorial made my ears bleed. its like some chick with strep throat, a heavy lisp, and braces.
    • psylent, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1If I'm not mistaken, that's the voice of a someone rapidly approaching morbidy obesity.
      • duser4, on 01/02/2008, -0/+0True... If you actually looked at the entire video (unfortunately i did), you would have hear her couple of times gasping for air before completing half of a sentence. Oh, by the way, her screen name in chatrooms is something like SexyPrincesBabyHot18F
    • mrbad101, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1you stole my thoughts exactly.
    • smeenz, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1My ears!.. the goggles.. they do nothing!
    • SatansSpatula, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Are you making fun of my head gzhear?!
  • chilipeppers4u, on 01/02/2008, -12/+1Am I the only one who, after reading the article, is really disappointed that I can't actually get Yoda graphics in my gmail account?
  • Aidje, on 01/02/2008, -0/+22A more accurate title would be "A Gmail Primer".
    • iDiggIt42, on 01/02/2008, -0/+5But... But... It's not catchy!
      • Aidje, on 01/02/2008, -3/+3Oh… right. It *would* hurt the article's potential for popularity if the title revealed how basic the information was. I concede.
    • SatansSpatula, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1"Jedi Master" is to the 0's as "primer" was to the 90's.
  • appleseed1234, on 01/02/2008, -22/+1Great Gmail Article, Ron Paul '08!
  • imdeanlabouty, on 01/02/2008, -4/+39What do you REALLY need to do with Gmail? Login, look at your unread email, logout and be done with it. Sheeeit.
    • grilkip, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Some of us may like to look up an old email, using labels helps.
    • svivian, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2I use labels for all those "wanna read it later" emails like those from Digg, Facebook, etc. Create a filter that matches them, set it to apply label and archive it. And I just summarised half the article in two sentences.
    • jazzboyrules, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Why do you ever need to log out??
  • active1x0, on 01/02/2008, -2/+12...it's a trap? Wait how do these meme's work :(
  • mawh, on 01/02/2008, -3/+2yes but..
    Can you be an gmail elder jedi master?
  • plr4ever, on 01/02/2008, -2/+18Am i the only one who already knew all this?
    • donsherio, on 01/02/2008, -1/+5I knew it all... the short cuts some of em, but seriously knew a lot of this.
    • Memnochxx, on 01/02/2008, -0/+7I thought it would be hard not to know these things. Don't people click on 'settings' anymore?
    • vikki77, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1I figured out most of it on my own, too. But you gotta love yoda!
  • muniak, on 01/02/2008, -0/+23"You use the mouse to move your cursor over to the Inbox button, then press your index finger down onto the left mouse button to travel to the inbox." I think this is a very unnecessary article.
  • donsherio, on 01/02/2008, -6/+3Can someone please re make this video... her voice is sorta hoarse AND Hawai'i is the country in which Honolulu resides in... you can't really use them in a list, like "Hawai'i, Honolulu, mexico or where ever"

    and she stutters a lot... not really enjoyable video to watch.
    • ccheath, on 01/02/2008, -0/+5hawaii is actually a state... not a country... thanks for playing... don, what do we have for our contestant?
      • MeMongo, on 01/02/2008, -0/+6Jim, we have a big bucket of ***** for this retard, in the form of
        A BRAND NEW CAR!!!!
        Yes, it's a Chrysler 300.
  • stefpet, on 01/02/2008, -0/+12This article somehow reminds me of a feature I saw in a PC magazine a couple of years back - an extensive article spanning multiple pages with detailed images about how to connect a new keyboard to your PC.
    • Aidje, on 01/02/2008, -0/+6Plug and play can be, you know… difficult. You have to, like… plug it in.
  • tm89, on 01/02/2008, -4/+2why JEdi master..why aint it KungFu Master?
    no forces attached?
    • Aidje, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1My guess is that they planned to name it "How to Become a Gmail Ninja", but then they realized that a far more informative article by that name had already been written. (Not to say that I know of one.)
  • JibberGeorge, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1WTF?? This has been on the digg front page for quite long enough for at least 4 Yoda voice impersonations.

    Cmon people, this is digg!!
    • joshuaer, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2here is a trick for you to get on the front page. take something that was on the front page before then add starwars, linux or apple theme to it put it on your own site then submit.

      example: Cool Java and Css menu from 3 weeks ago. = Jave and Css menu with starwars theme programed on an iphone running Linux!
    • hitdrumhard, on 01/02/2008, -0/+0MMmmm! Digg, this is.
  • LauraDora, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2it's arKive not archive.

  • TKardinal, on 01/02/2008, -1/+3GMail + IMAP + Windows Mobile is still broken.

    GRRR.
  • bnajbert, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2one word sums up this video ......... arCHIVE!
  • dichotom, on 01/02/2008, -0/+16How to Become a Sandwich Jedi Master:

    1. Acquire meat and bread.
    2. Place meat on bread.
    3. Cover meat with more bread.

    Inline Jedi training brought to you by: ArChives! -What's on your tater?
  • thailand1972, on 01/02/2008, -2/+1Hold on, whenever there's a security breach with Gmail, people say "ah yeah, well just use Gmail for personal stuff, definitely not business". So what else do you need to do with personal email other than login, read/send mail, logout?

    After reading this article, it seems people do use Gmail for business despite the security vulnerabilities inherent with webmail (not knocking Gmail, just that it's becoming a target for hackers more and more).
  • KaJuN4, on 01/02/2008, -7/+3Vote Ron Paul and put an end to the Gmail madness!!!

  • talkingtiki, on 01/02/2008, -2/+1LOUD NOISES
  • MissingScrews, on 01/02/2008, -0/+0I wish I knew how to "snyc" my gmail.
  • kinggimped, on 01/02/2008, -0/+3You can ADD CONTACTS to your ADDRESS BOOK?

    I have so much to learn.

    PS I'm still not getting the 'new' Gmail interface. Or IMAP. What gives? I was an early adopter, but I seem to be a late updater.
    • Aidje, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2Are you using Gmail, or Google Apps for Your Domain? Google Apps runs behind on the updates. If you're using Gmail, then Google just hates you.
      • stalefries, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1There's a setting in the Google Apps control panel, which will send you the updates sooner.
    • Blubi, on 01/03/2008, -0/+1You have to change the Gmail display language to English US if you use another language. You do this in the settings under the general tab. As far as I know, other languages are not supported (yet?).
      • kinggimped, on 01/24/2008, -0/+1Ahaaaaa. Thanks for the info. Only supporting US English? How racist of Google :P
  • s4g4n, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1How many people closed the video after hearing her voice?
  • fidunderground, on 01/02/2008, -1/+1gmail rocks!
  • grapfx, on 01/02/2008, -0/+2Other than Captain Obvious' guide to speeding up a PC, I didn't find anything else on this website. Interesting. Buried.
  • infango, on 01/02/2008, -2/+1feel the gmail Luke
  • soulonice, on 01/02/2008, -4/+2dugg down for stupid Yoda-speak.

    Frickin' fanboys, I swear.
    • Aidje, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1If you're talking about "Gmail Jedi Master Become I," please don't judge the fanboys by that. That's called idiocy, not fanboyism.
  • stu28bu, on 01/02/2008, -2/+1Wouldn't that be "Gedi Master" :)
  • morrislevy, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2Lame. I knew all those tricks already. Boring!
  • reazal, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Gmail rocks. But the mail system in Youtube sucks a lot.
  • bigapple666, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Any email system that requires study is not very well designed. I prefer good old trusty Yahoo for ease of use and for having all of the features that an email program should have.
  • nevek89, on 01/02/2008, -1/+3Disappointed - i was hoping for a plugin to have an animated yoda slice spam messages in half
  • misterparry, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2does she have down syndrome or something?
  • madacc, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2Dugg for "ar-chived"
    • jun2san, on 01/02/2008, -0/+3dude....seriously...your like the millionth person who commented this. Why don't you just go digg the first guy who dugg for archive?
  • kkireyev, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1... or you can just use your favorite email client to access Gmail via POP3
    • andycr512, on 01/02/2008, -0/+1Now it has IMAP, which makes things significantly more convenient.
  • dxgg, on 02/05/2008, -1/+2WTF? Tell me something new, for Yoda's sake!
  • EntropyGun, on 01/02/2008, -1/+2Nuts. I was hoping to learn how to use GMail to levitate items across the room.
  • darnit, on 01/02/2008, -1/+1I think is totally unfair the way she labeled Michael Cheney like that.
