Play Snake on Gmail...as well as some other stuff

With all the great features that Gmail has, again they don't fail to impress us. As some of you Gmailers may know, Gmail has recently released 13 new experimental features in an area called Gmail Labs. Here's a basic rundown of a few of these new features:



Quick Links:
This basically allows you to save previously searched emails. It adds a new box to Gmail's sidebar on the left. Go to the view you want, like all messages that have PDF file attachments using the has:attachment PDF Gmail search, then click "Add Quick Link"

Superstars:
Now you can mark messages using up to 12 different colored and shaped icons. Once enabled, you will see a new section under the General Settings area. Superstars is pretty much just a visual indicator. Tip: Click on the star next to a message repeatedly to go through the different stars.

Snakey:
Remember playing Snake on your Nokia cell phones while in high school? That's right, Gmail brings this old school game back, and now, you can play it on Gmail. SWEET, right?!?!. Tip: Once you have enabled Snakey under settings, you have to press "&" (Shift+7) to get the game to appear.

Email Addict:
For those who spend WAY too much time on Gmail, and want to be more productive, this feature locks Gmail from you for 14 minutes.

This is only 4 of 13, so definately check it out. If you do not see Gmail Labs under Settings on your Gmail, try pasting this link into your web browser after you have already logged into Gmail: https://mail.google.com/mail/?labs=1#settings. Enjoy!
