Gmail has an interesting quirk where you can add a plus sign (+) after your Gmail address, and it’ll still get to your inbox. It’s called plus-addressing, and it essentially gives you an unlimited number of e-mail addresses to play with. Here’s how it works: say your address is pinkyrocks@gmail.com, and you want to automatically label all work e-mails. Add a plus sign and a phrase to make it pinkyrocks+work@gmail.com and set up a filter to label it work (to access your filters go to Settings->Filters and create a filter for messages addressed to pinkyrocks+work@gmail.com. Then add the label work).
Note: Unfortunately NBC has decided to remove this great interview due to “copyright infringements”. Lawyers seem to have such a great sense of timing.
Ryan Stewart over at ZD Net chimes in on the tidal wave of “Web 2.0″ tech based sites, and the problems with compatibility that come with them. I love all these new applications, but the fact is that I am a tech-head, with all of the latest browsers, plugins, and technologies enabled… there are a number of popular sites out there (in Web 2.0 BETA! of course) that don’t like Grandma and Grandpa’s 10 year old Dell.
