Making Gmail labels work for you

by

For those of us who receive a ton of email every day, Gmail’s labels are a savior. If it wasn’t for this wonderful technology, my inbox would be one large unmanageable mess! Once you’ve adapted the ideology of using labels, you’ll find managing your email to be less of a chore and more of a management tool.

After you’ve created your labels and setup filters to have yourmail populated accordingly, it will look something like this.

You’ll notice I created my labels and filters based on the most important categories to me. The idea behind this is to have all things related to any particular subject grouped in one place where I can search through them as I please. The second really important part is to have them removed from the main inbox. This really helps to get rid of the clog, and I can focus on the one off emails that I receive.

Not only did they provide a fast chip but they optimized it (you know, fancy things like drivers). From their press release we get a good sense as to why the processor is so powerful. Key to Tegra’s … Read more

This is either brilliant marketing or AT&T needs more money… an AT&T Winnebago anyone?

It looks like it’s only in Vermont right now, but who knows this might catch on..

AT&T today announced that its Vermont sales team is embarking upon a mobile retail tour designed to better assist customers in areas where AT&T has limited brick-and-mortar locations.

Traveling in a 31-foot AT&T-branded retro-fitted RV equipped with the latest wireless devices, the team of sales and service experts will traverse Vermont over the next several weeks, making more than two dozen stops between now and the end of October.

"There is a lot of ground to cover. We’re looking forward to getting out there and meeting our customers, especially those transitioning from Unicel, and helping them find the right wireless solution to meet their individual needs," said Steve Krom, vice president and general manager, AT&T New England. "If we can save some folks a little time and gas money by bringing our store closer to their home, that’s a nice bonus as well."
