When Google does something they seem to definitely go all out and go big. Some people with Google in Moscow put together the video people. For the details of what went into making the art check out the GMail blog.
Google announces a Contacts API is now available. This is great news for people like me who love their GMail account, but also use Outlook for somethings. Hopefully there is a developer out there already busy writing a GMail to Outlook Sync program for Contacts. Between this announcement and their other announcement about a Calendar Sync utility I may finally get my data in all the locations I want/need and not have to retype and sync it by hand.
Google announces the new Google Calendar Sync which will sync your Google Calendar with Outlook. I know I have been waiting a long time for this. Has always been a pain trying to keep the two calendars in sync.
Well it turns out if you think you only have one email address you are wrong. You have a huge possible set to choose from. On the GMail blog they release information on some special characters a dot (“.”) and plus sign (“+”). Turns out if you put a dot in a GMail address it is completely ignored. Also any text after a “+” sign is completely ignored. Think of the power of this. You can give unique email addresses to websites and know when the spam starts coming in where it came from. Also can setup filters to label or star emails to certain addresses automatically. Also for those contests that require unique email addresses. No more creating new fake free email accounts. Have fun.
