Gmail has added another feature to Gmail. The Gmail team has decided to allow you to add emoticons. This little feature allows you to spice up your emails little bit more. No longer do you have to settle for the old smiley face. I can’t wait to see what Gmail comes out with next.

I have talked a little bit before how administrators are being asked to do more with less. The more organized we can be when it comes to email the better off we are going to be. I never really had a system for email management until I saw this video. I did have to watch it a couple times and even review it every once in a while when I fall back into some of my old habits. The presentation is from a talk Merlin did for Google back in July of 2007. Thankfully Google and Merlin have been kind enough to share the video. Please let me know what you think.
If you have not heard about GOOG-411 you are missing out. This is a free service you can use from your cell phone or home phone in the US to find out what a business phone number is. It beats paying one or two dollars for the traditional services offered by the phone companies. When you call up you say where you are and what you are looking for. GOOG-411 will then connect you with the business. You can also opt to have a text message sent to you or to have a map sent to you with the location. Once you get used to using it you will wonder how you ever lived without it!
