I’m pretty darn sure that the event invitation, part of Google Calendar, has been in Gmail for quite a while now… I haven’t used it, but I don’t think it’s new. Status update messages have also had a yellow background for a while too. Methinks this is a teapot tempest?

I still haven’t logged in to see if the upgrade has reached my account. I’ve been downloading my email into Thunderbird for years and hardly ever use the Gmail interface.

I think gmail is fine. As long as they don’t complicate the GUI, I’ll be happy.

Nice. I bet the guys over at the Googleplex are checking out all those Greasemonkey scripts users program and work it from there.

but I notice nothing on my gmail.
“The ability to add an event invitation when composing or replying to messages.”
that’s social networking feature.

oh this is great, finally.
Gmail interface has not changed for like 4 years now?

I’m sure these updates will be helpful and all, but where’s the read receipts option we’ve all been waiting for. If it wasn’t for this feature, or lack there of, I would use gmail (and all the other features google offers) for practically everything. Like Janet Meiners says, “Google is part of my life!” (or something like that)

What is the word on the read receipt option? Is it in beta? What’s holding up the show?

Thanks.

It will be nice to see if Gmail gets faster… Sometimes I think I fall asleep waiting.
