If you have logged in to your Google account recently, you may have noticed 2 big updates. Your Gmail account can now have a customizable design and you can now promote, remove and leave comments about Google search results thanks to SearchWiki.
The Gmail design update is very welcomed as many people have unofficially tried to take the initiative on their own to spice up the previously very plain design. There are over 30 new themes to pick from so everyone is sure to find something they will like. There are even seasonal themes that change automatically as the season changes throughout the year or a weather theme that rains on your email. How cool is that? This offers yet another reason for Gmail to stay in Beta…LOL
The SearchWiki integration with Google allows you to edit and customize your search results, but only after you have logged into your Google account. You may add notes and comments to each search result for future reference. This new feature also gives you the ability to promote and remove certain search results depending on if you find the information helpful. The promotions, deletions and comments of search results will not affect other individual’s search experience but will enable your results to be easily managed.
Leave a comment and let me know what you think about these 2 new Google updates!
Hi there—I was surprised to find my g mail customized by itself. I didn’t do it. Nice but for those of us who just use gmail to keep in touch, I don’t need whistles and bells. It takes too much time to figure it out. (I’m in the over 60 crowd whom most tekkies think don’t exist.) So, keep it simple for those of us who can still use a typewriter.
