Email is a necessity for most of us. We use it to stay in touch with colleagues and friends, keep up with the latest news, manage to-dos at home or at work – we just can’t live without it. Today we announced major improvements to Gmail on the web to help people be more productive at work. Here’s a quick look at how the new Gmail can help you accomplish more from your inbox.
A major redesign of the Gmail web interface is now available for testing.
Emails (i.e. your electronic memory) may disappear from your mailbox. But it will stay in the Big Brother’s memory forever.
And all the easier to spy on you and your life.
I have my own email server that does very nicely thank you.
Just curious…what are you running?
And the life of others – your contacts, those who send you text, images, and other stuff. Plus all the metadata.
This worries me too. Still, in the first few minutes of looking at it, I didn’t notice that “feature”.
I have seen the “smart suggestion/reply” from gmail app for some time on mobile. So the new gmail is to have this in the browser. At what point is the AI/ML/statistical suggestion what I choose, or what google/email provider choose? Just being a critic here, sure it’s great on mobile, sometimes, but the idea of “here are three choices” and your brain going “hey, if I pick one, I can just get this over with”.
Will we all keenly be aware that no one has time to reply to our emails for real? Dictated but not read?
I turned it on for my work email this morning and, in a complete disregard for the current trend at Google, the UX is actually quite good. Although the default view is awful.
