In the latest post at the Twitter Blog [titled: Hello New Zealand], twitter has announced of the new-two way SMS service on Vodafone in New Zealand. So to all the Kiwis out there, here’s some Tweet Tweet Love!!!
Here is what they have to say about this.
The shortcode for Twitter in NZ is 8987 or TWTR. As always, Twittering over SMS is a standard rate message or deducted from your bundle and receiving notifications is free. If you’re not a Vodafone customer, don’t worry—we’re working on it.
Also, Twitter seems to be having their eyes now on to Australia. Happy Tweeting in the South!!
Yet another addition to the GMail Labs. Google today introduced Inbox Preview feature in GMail Labs. The point to be noted here is though, in a world of high-speed internet, and GMail anyway offering high speed mail service-is this feature going to be useful at all? If you can’t long enough to let your Inbox load, or you are still stuck in the days of not-so-fast Internet connection, this feature might be of some help.
Similar to other features from GMail Labs, you will need to enable this feature from Settings, search for this particular Lab feature, and Enable. Once enabled, this feature will let users preview the 10 most recent messages. This is just a simple, static preview, and hence, saves time for people who might not have time to sit down to check whether they have got any new mails or not.
I certainly don’t understand the argument quite completely. But reading GMail’s verdict on it, here is what Peter Balsiger had to say:
… imagine that you access Gmail on a super slow connection from a remote place in Ethopia where it might take minutes to completely load your inbox. The disappointment is larger when you find out that there is nothing new to read and you could have saved all that time.
Fair enough. For the whole post, visit this link [New in Labs: Inbox Preview].
