2 more reasons to love GMail
My love affair with GMail continues, and you all get to share the love!
Thanks to Mark Evans over at Twitterati, I learned how to add Twitter to GMail.It’s a crude gadget that allows you to twit from your GMail dashboard. Since I hve migrated all of my email addresses to GMail I now keep a GMail tab open on my browser all day so I may check out Twitter a bit more during the day.
When I was adding the Twitter gadget I noticed Gmail added yet another Labs feature that will let you send text SMS messages to peers on your Gmail chat list.
It kinda ticked me off that this is only available for US telephone numbers now, but they are planning to introduce it to other parts of the world soon.
According to the official blog,
This is why we built a way to chat with your friends even when they’re away from their computers. Now you can keep the conversations going with a new Labs feature that lets you send SMS text messages right from Gmail. It combines the best parts of IM and texting: you chat from the comfort of your computer, and your friends can peck out replies on their little keyboards.
I think I can see the practicality in that. What do you think?
