Google: New Software "Tastes Great"
With news late yesterday that Google was delivering a new feature in Gmail, the company hit a kind of recent low. Colored labels in Gmail? That is worth an announcement?
Next up: Gmail tastes great! Or is that Gmail's less filling?
Feel free to contribute more vacuous announcements you're expecting from the company.

In all fairness, I blame the blogosphere. The label release was on the gmail blog (a logical place to put it). Then everyone puts it on Techmeme.
Not only this, but the new version locks up my firefox occasionally. So I'm using the "older version" for now.
What's scary is a company with the resources and "brainpower" of google is starting to look stretched for a webmail application. And don't get me started on their spreadsheet/docs stuff.
If this is the future of cloud computing, maybe we all need to put the bong down for awhile.
Very amusing, I took almost exactly the same screenshot you posted with the intent of putting up a blog post mulling the possibility of this being the 3.0 version of gmail.
But since you scooped me on the story, I guess I'll have to go back to writing code for a living. Dang! :^)
