You’ll love Labs in Gmail

I don’t know why i haven’t seen this earlier. 

Google integrated their laboratory division in Gmail… its called Gmail Labs (should not be confused with Google Labs).

Gmail Labs is a way for us to take lots of the ideas we wouldn’t normally pick and let you all (who use Gmail) decide whether they’re good or not. When you sign in, you’ll see a new page in Settings called Labs. It has a list of experimental new features, and you can enable or disable each one. Some of the popular ones will become core parts of the product, and we’ll eventually retire the ones that don’t get much use. We’ve put feedback links in there, too, so you can discuss a feature with other users and the engineer(s) who wrote it.

One of the best feature i think Gmial labs has is the signature twek. It places the quoted signature in the quoted text when you reply to or forward a message. (u,,, why can’t gmail integrate this one?).

What’s your fave gmail labs feature? Oh.. for those who haven’t used any yet, head over to Settings and Labs tab on your gmail.
