  • Pinky: Egad, Brain, I think so, but if Google tries to have Facebook and Twitter's babies, won't they suffer from severe genetic deficiencies? …And who will get custody of the children?!

Buzzed and confused

If nothing else, Buzz thus far has lived up to it’s name.

Gmail labels, remixed

Along with many others, I was skeptical at first. I felt just like this person:

New label interface

But the smartees at Gmail are right—I don’t need to see all 34 of my labels. I’ve narrowed it down to seven and it only took a minute.

I love the idea of dragging a label onto a message or vice versa, but for the most part, I’ll probably stick to using the keyboard shortcuts (“L” to label, “V” to move).

However, I still agree with many dissatisfied former right-side label users, that we should have a choice (or at the least, a heads-up).

Now all I want to know is:

1. What happened to auto reply-all?

2. Can I move my gCal and gDocs widgets to the right side now??
