Hotmail to make changes to keep Gmail in check

Posted: 18 May 2010 03:33 AM PDT

More than ten years ago when I signed up for an free email address, the first choice was Hotmail. I could use MSN messenger with the same user-name and password and not to forget sign-in to all the various MSN portals. The only other competitor was Yahoo and Inbox sizes were about 20 MB. Gmail set up free with supposedly unlimited storage space and freedom from the usual spam mail.

Gmail delivered and Hotmail faltered. So today Gmail is the dominant email service provider and Hotmail probably comes in second. Today Hotmail has announced that they will bring about some interesting features with Hotmail in the near future.

Some of the changes promised by Microsoft

Hotmail's Inbox will change quite radically with options like reading only mail from contacts which automatically shows only mail from your contact list. We can do the same with Gmail by creating a rule but having such an option with a click of a button can be quite useful. It also shows emails sent from social networks differently and group together as you can see in the image above.
Hotmail will also bring in a feature to allow documents to be opened and edited with new Office Web Apps. It does look like they are targeting Google Docs here, especially with is new editing features.
A great feature of Hotmail could be to look up videos and thumbnails of videos from YouTube and Hulu which allows viewing of videos from within Hotmail’s interface with just a pop-up window.

Will these steps help Hotmail?

These changes are something that mostly are already available for Gmail users. So maybe these changes are a bit too late. When innovation comes across while you are leading the race it actually makes more sense. Innovation done while catching up with competition can mean only keeping up with the leader rather than overtaking the leader.
Hotmail does target Google Docs and that is a cause for worry for Google as most people in general still feel comfortable using Office documents rather than Google Docs.

So what do you think? Will these changes being brought about by Hotmail be the Gmail killer or will it just be a passing trend?

Do let me know through your comments.

Use Google drawings for brainstorming sessions

Posted: 17 May 2010 09:38 PM PDT

Google Docs has changed its layout and added a lot of functions regarding live editing and also formatting. While trying to look up more options I came across Google Drawings a much unused and unknown feature with Google Docs.

Google Drawings is available with Google Docs and you can create one just like you create a spreadsheet or presentation. The layout is quite simple and self explanatory. You might want to go to settings and turn on the new Document settings for better options and live collaboration.

Finally start drawing rough sketches of anything you are working on and share it with a list of friends on Gmail.

Where Google Drawings can be useful?

This tool is a great way to work together with a group and use images and drawings to brainstorm. Brainstorming sessions need a lot of drawings and flow charts to explain how things will work or how an idea should progress. For instance a web design company might have designers in different locations and brain storm about the new options it might include in its web site.
Here Google Drawings work brilliantly as one person can change a drawing almost live and actually exchange ideas in a visual format. As they say a picture is worth a thousand words and while explaining things it surely helps to have charts and images.
I am not sure this tool can be used as a professional design tool for complex designs and drawings but it certainly is great for creating rough outlines and drawings.

What do you think about Google Drawings? Will you find it useful? Do drop in your comments with your views.
