More and more people have been moving to Google’s mail service, Gmail, thanks to its ease of use and powerful functions. But like just about everything on the Internet these days, there is a lot more (and we mean a LOT more) to Gmail than just sending and receiving mails or even chatting while you receive mail. There are stacks and stacks of features out there that can make a huge difference to your mailing experience - from being able to use Gmail even when there is no Internet access to seeing previews of YouTube videos, Picasa and Flickr links, and Yelp reviews right inside Gmail, to even sending SMS text messages from Gmail. Of course, it can all get rather confusing, so the good folks at Google have come up with an entire Gmail Tips section to help users out.
And in best Google tradition, this is not just a boring page with bulleted points but a whole lot of fun. Google urges users to become “Gmail Ninjas” and based on their level of usage, classifies them into White, Green and Black Belts, and saves the best tips for power users it calls Gmail Masters. There are more than forty tips here, each of which is explained in simple terms with screenshots thrown in too. A must-read for everyone who uses Gmail and even for those who do not and wonder what all the fuss is about! You can access the tips here.
