YouTube, Gmail updated with new features – Gmail Invitation Still Alive !
Many of you must have observed few small changes in YouTube and Gmail in this week. Youtube ads a new look for playing the next video after you finish playing one and a slightly different style of putting up related videos after playback (looks nice).
And gmail adds pixel saving features to minimize/hide modules which you think you are not interested in, and separation of mail, contacts looks good too.
But the question remains that after all these updates, the Gmail Invitation feature still remains alive ? Why? Gmail is not in Beta and has a feature for signup. So why still have invitation facility being visible to the users and also with the “invites left” counter (71 left) showing up. They could just hide that feature – as we don’t use it – as Gmail is not exclusive as it was few years ago when it started and people had to get an invite to signup .
Below are some screenshots showing updates of YouTube, Gmail and also showing the Gmail Invitation feature still alive
Such News Posts make it to the Frontpage of IBNLive.com ! – Deepika Padukone’s ‘extra topping’
My friend who sent me this link – thought that it was a new movie called “extra topping”. I felt the same before reading the article and its really not shocking but was surprised though, to see such news posts making to the front-page of such reputed Newspaper website. This is not news, this is something like people blogging about their personal feelings on the newspapers. And note this was added through [Mid-Day]. They write every damn thing they feel personally and put it up as news and we should accept this as news? I don’t say people don’t want gossip but trying to drive traffic by putting such articles seems “interesting” . Hey ! we already have Rediff and Zoom for such stuff? Right ! Why one more .. Just check the screenshot and also the link. The title reads like this – [ Deepika Padukone's 'extra topping' ]
VOTD: 35 Movies in Two Minutes – 35MM
Seems like a nice piece of work. A unique thought of story telling of movies through icons.
Felix Meyer and Pascal Monaco picked up 35 of their favourite movies and show them in the shortest of the time. Its a nice journey of different genre of movies of different times brought together in a 2 minutes video.
Even though I have seen these movies I couldn’t make out many of those seeing the video. I could figure out only Titanic, Jaws, Apollo 13, Toy Story and Gone with the wind. Watch the video and lets see how many movies do you get out of this 2 minutes video.
note: wondering whats VOTD ? Its – Video of the day
