Every time I come on Active Rain I discover something new.  Well, that may be an exaggeration but it sometimes seems that way.

When I go to Google I often discover the same thing.  It is always a work in progress.  Change after change and almost all for the better.  Today I clicked on the Labs tab under Gmail Settings and found several new features.  One that I know I will be using is the Undo Send.

Have you ever written an e-mail, hit send, and then immediately think of something you would like to express differently or something else you would like to include?  I have and more than once.  Now those that use Gmail have the opportunity to do exactly that.

Luckily on Active Rain we have the ability to hit edit as soon as we realize we would like to "undo" a comment or change something in our posts.  I have used this feature many times.  I am sure I will use the "undo" feature on Gmail.  Once you hit send you have a short grace period of a few seconds (so you'd better think fast) to cancel sending.  You are then able to edit your message before sending it again.

Labels, similar to folders, help organize your messages.  You can move your messages to appropriately named Labels  Now Gmail provides a range of colors so that Labels can have their own unique color and enable you to find the Label you are looking for more quickly.

If you have not checked out all of the features available this may be the perfect time to take a look.  You  might find many things that will impress you.  I have hardly scratched the surface and so I plan to learn and use more of the time saving tools available.  Of course I say that about all of this technology...my Blackberry, my computer, my digital camera, and on and on and on.

It's about time that I mentioned that Gmail is free for those of you that do not know that. Yes, you read that right...Free.  Here is the link if you would like to learn about what's new in Gmail, http://mail.google.com/mail/help/about_whatsnew.html.
