The GOOG guys are pushing it harder. Calendar and Docs have just been included in the GMail and the Labs team have integrated this service which has received quite a welcome appreciation from the blogosphere. The Official GMail post says that ” The (GMail)Labs Team has worked on:
a simple way to see your Google Calendar agenda and get an alert when you have a meeting, and a gadget that shows a list of your recently accessed Google Docs and lets you search across all of your documents right from within Gmail”
And it doesn’t stop there. There’s a third lab enabling users to add any Google Gadget to GMail by just pasting in the URL of its XML spec file.(e.g. http://www.google.com/ig/modules/youtube_videos.xml)
All of this is being added on the left nav where we have our chat windows and labels below the normal inbox links. Talking of which, the question arises whether GMail INBOX would now be a cluttered space like MySpace or like the Facebook horror page that was cluttered with applications everywhere.
Answering to this question, GMail official Dan Pupius has said that the new GMail Gadgets are not aimed at being user friendly at the moment, and are aimed at developers who want to play around with the available resources. And to add to that, the left nav-bar is certainly not the only space where they would be adding up the features.And all these future additions to come up in GMail space, would also take into consideration the major edge of GMail over other mail services-Speed. With more and more additions to the Inbox, will GMail be able to keep up? Let’s wait and watch!!

Have you noticed that small icon on your mail compose page just where you have all the clicks for the email formatting. Yeah , just next to the text coloring options and before the Link button. GMail has introduced a new feature and that’s emoticons /smileys, whichever way you want to call it. The official GMail blog post is here.
The New emoticons would enable mails on GMail to be more expressive as our chats have been all these years. So from black and white emails, to colored labels, to emoticons and group chats on GMail, we now have the new set of smileys/emoticons on the new improved GMail. So from 
to XOXO , the new set is just lovely and fun to watch. Also up is the new set of GTalk smileys. Let’s all chat , shall we?
I know, I know. There are a dozens of websites offering the same service. But this one is as simple as entering the URL and hitting OK. The website is Free Online URL to PDF converter. Visit the link here.
There is NO registration required, and hence the URL converted is almost instantaneously ready to download and not e-mailed to an e-mail ID. Another great thing about the service is that there are no watermarks, or mention of the service provider. Lastly, if the website link has Advertisments from adsense etc., it removes those from the converted pdf file. So there you go. Convert your webpages to PDF for FREE!!!!
Hmm. Still not sure to find the right resources on the web. Still stuck with only the few websites that you know and want to know what the world is reading. (‘Course there are other ways to find that out). So if you search only on Google, have only a Facebook profile and get your mail inbox on Hotmail (you get the picture), check this out at the other options available. Special mention is the categorised catalog that has been done here. The website is called LowgoLink (guess the domain Logo Link wasn’t available, so they went for the phonetic sounding twin’s name). The categories available are:- News, Search, Video, Email, Social, Sport, Social Network , Games, Showbiz, Travel, Shopping, Money, Health, Food, Music and Movies.
It is indeed quite helpful to have all the bunch that matters. Have a look at the second pic after the jump.
