Google Labs Prevents Drunk Emailing!
Wednesday, October 8th, 2008
Directly from the Official Gmail Blog. Gmail takes precautionary measures to prevent sending those “nasty drunk emails” late at night.
By adding a new feature called Mail Goggles, Gmail can help determine if you are in the right state to be sending emails.
You can configure the new feature for certain days of the week and times within those days. By default it’s active on the weekends during the wee hours of the night – when most are likely to send inappropriate messages.
Although this is hardly relevant for the purposes of Axis’ blog, it demonstrates with unequivocal honesty, creativity and corporate culture that is not only condoned but promoted within Google. Google, along with innovation superstar, 3M, allows each employee to spend a certain percentage of their work week on individual projects. Both 3M and Google, take this approach to innovation because they realize each person in their own right can potentially develop a stunning new product or service that will be valuable – maybe not to everyone but possibly to a small niche.
