Gmail’s Miniscule Makeover

Gmail alerted me that they had undergone a homepage makeover. Somehow, I hadn’t noticed. See if you can guess why.

Gmail alerted me that they had undergone a homepage makeover.  Somehow, I hadn’t noticed.   See if you can guess why.

    Well they had to fight back against Facebook’s new messaging system, didn’t they?

    But, but, they moved the “by Google” thing all the way to the other side of the GMail graphic.

    That’s totally revolutionary!

    Umm, the logo is not the only part of the redesign. They also rolled out a new gmail feature that automatically replies to Nigerian-Princes-trying-to-move-money-to-your-bank-account with a video of Wham!’s “Wake me up (before you go go).”

    No? Didn’t hear about that?

    Well it would’ve been more worthy of a press release than this crap.

    Presumably, tail fins will be the next enhancement.
