Gmail Contacts issue

Gmail has decided to drop off its feature of adding contact names automatically when you compose your mails. Earlier, whenever you wrote a mail to or recieved a mail from someone, that mail Id was automatically added to your contact list. And names from this list would be suggested to you automatically in the address bar. Honestly speaking, I was so used to this feature that I rarely remembered any mail Ids of my contacts. In the new version of its contact manager, Gmail allows a list for holding the "Suggested Contacts" names along with the "My Contacts" address list. For some wierd reason, I havent still had access to this new feature of Gmail Contact manager, but I hope I get back that auto-adding feature soon, such that I can create my list of frequently mailed contacts once and later not worry about remembering their mail IDs

The Gmail Video

You never get bored with the Google guys, they keep popping up with interesting ideas every now and then. The Gmail page has this new link which invites you to join their collaborative video on the Gmail service. Its a very simple idea, all you need to do is download the M-velope icon print it and use it in your video. How, where, what to shoot in the video is completely your choice. But the M-velope needs to be present in the video and it should appear to float from the left to the right of the screen. Your videos have to be 10 seconds in length and can be submitted using your Google ID. The guys with the scissors at Google will then select the best ones to compile an interesting video. Aint it fun ?
