Google just announce Mail Goggles, which is a Lab service which enable user to remind yourself before sending any message.

Sometimes, when you compose mail, you may accidently press the send button. This is really bad for any formal or important mail. So, Google had launched Mail Goggles, which is a service that will popup a dialog box which ask users to answer some Math questions.

This is to prevent user accidently send wrong message and user may had enough time to think twice before they hit the Send button.

To use Mail Goggles, go to your Settings page and browse to the Lab tab, then enable the Mail Goggles feature. After that, you may set the difficulty of the Math questions. Besides this, Mail Goggles also let user to choose when this feature will be turn on. For example, you may only turn on this feature at mid night, as this is the time most people feel sleepy and chances to send wrong messages are higher.

Sometimes, my freinds keep sending or forwarding meaningless emails to me, which really annoying me especially when i was busy. But the problem is i don’t know how to ask them to stop doing so ( actually some of the mails do bring me some info, but most of them just wasting my time!).

As i go through this article, i found StopForwarding.Us may help me. Simply provide your friend’s name and email address, and it will send an email to your friend and ask them to stop forwarding meaningless emails. Your freind will not know who is the person that complain about his/her action and most probably they will though someone is spying on their computer!

Your friend will receive an anonymous email which ask them to stop spamming/forwarding emails and he will recognize his errors in sending those meaningless emails. This is the email that he will receive.

I personally think that it would be better if let us to include our name or email. So that our friend can only exclude our name in their “mailing list” while let the others interested people still able to read their mails.
