Email Actions

If you haven't heard of Baboom yet, check it out, it's a new music service about to be launched by Kim Dotcom, that in difference from the competition strives to drive the profit towards the users rather than the service. He was about to launch something similar a couple of years back when MegaUpload was raided and shut down, but I'm glad this thing is still happening, no matter the odds! His new album is first up, for free, along with tweets and videos and interfacial stuff. The rest of the service is only in preview-mode for now, an appetizer of things to come, but it looks promising!

That's not what I was going to write about though, I was going to write about the phenomena of email actions being included as buttons on the subject line of a message, in list-view, in Gmail. Apparently it's a new thing, just recently announced, and this time is the first time I see it in action. And it's good! Finally a change for the better in a long series of changes for the worse and more-complicated.

Wonder how long it'll take the other main email providers to catch on.
