Gmail is the Coolest

For those of you who do not have Gmail as your email service, you are missing out on a lot of really cool features. Here's my top 10 of Gmail...

  1. Conversations - Instead of having 10 different emails from a send and reply conversation, Gmail lumps all the emails together for one conversation so it doesn't fill up your entire inbox
  2. Themes - Recently Gmail added themes so that you can customize the look of your own mailbox.
  3. Chat - You can live chat while checking and writing emails without opening a whole new program like msn to chat.
  4. Video Chat - I just got done doing this with Tuffy. It was very impressive. The picture and sound is really good and the delay isn't bad at all. If you have a camera and mic on your cpu, this is a really cool feature.
  5. Spam Filter - I rarely get anything in my junk mailbox or any crap in my inbox.
  6. Lots of Storage - It's basically unlimited
  7. Access to all of Google's programs - Maps, Video, Groups, Picasa, Blogs, Reader, etc...
  8. Labels - This isn't exclusively Gmail, but I still like it
  9. Mail Search - Any time I need to find an email in one of my folders or labels, I can use the search engine to find it.
  10. Customizable - There are so many ways to make Gmail your own through just a few clicks of the mouse.
So there you have it. Have I convinced you to make the switch?
