Google Total (email) Recall

unicorns

From the Official Gmail Blog…

Turn on Undo Send in Gmail Labs under Settings, and you’ll see a new “Undo” link on every sent mail confirmation. Click “Undo,” and we’ll grab the message before it’s sent and take you right back to compose.

I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this – I think that it may lead to a certain “carelessness” of the type usually displayed by Edna who frequently attempts to recall messages sent from Outlook. I think that I’m on the side of the good old days – when an email left the MUA, it was GONE. Of course, Gmail isn’t exactly a normal MUA.

How do you feel about it?

Comments please!

Yes, I wanted a pic of the governator up there, but in the end, this feature from Google is all about the rainbow vomiting unicorns that make the Internet a happy place for people who live a carefree life.
