Top 10 Gmail Labs You Should Enable — lifehacker
Multiple Inboxes is my #1. Wouldn't know what to do without it. Flagged I've been trying to set up Multiple Inboxes but can't get it to work. I heard it stopped working after a recent update (sometime in the past year). It's still working for you? Still working great for me under two different Gmail accounts (work and home). Here's how I use it. The normal Inbox is used for Quadrant 1 (urgent and important). Are there then four additional inboxes (thanks to this wonderful add-on). Q2 is for Quadrant 2 (not urgent but important).Q3 is for Quadrant 3 (urgent, but not important).If an email happens to be Quadrant 4 (not urgent and not important), it goes to spam.WFR is 'Waiting For Response'. The tedious part is setting up the labels and filters to make sure most of the emails I receive are automatically filtered into the correct inbox. Hope this helps!

8 Outstanding Google Tools You May Not Know About Lately, I've been hearing about this little company called Google. Personally, I think there's a chance that they'll actually make something of themselves. Call me crazy. 70 Things Every Computer Geek Should Know. The term ‘geek’, once used to label a circus freak, has morphed in meaning over the years. What was once an unusual profession transferred into a word indicating social awkwardness. As time has gone on, the word has yet again morphed to indicate a new type of individual: someone who is obsessive over one (or more) particular subjects, whether it be science, photography, electronics, computers, media, or any other field. A geek is one who isn’t satisfied knowing only the surface facts, but instead has a visceral desire to learn everything possible about a particular subject. A techie geek is usually one who knows a little about everything, and is thus the person family and friends turn to whenever they have a question.
