I found this. I think this is what everyone is talking about?
Gmail sparks a surge of creative genius!:
[Technology India] Washington, Sept 17 : Although it was launched just four months back, Google's latest offering, it's free email service Gmail, has inspired users to come up with entirely new ways of using the service, which analysts aver could provide Email service providers with new ideas for adding more features.
Gamil, which was launched in April this year, boasts of enormous storage capacity, and this feature is exactly what a number of users have learnt to use to their advantage.
According to New Scientist, some of the things that users have created include a "weblog" or online message board that uses Gmail to store postings, a desktop file system that plugs straight into the Gmail system, turning a Gmail account into an extra folder for a computer's operating system and checking Gmail from the desktop or for importing messages from other email accounts
"The great thing about web applications is that people can extend them, and there's a real community out there to do it. A lot of people will just do it because it's fun, or to make their lives easier, or both. That's why programmers are such interesting people to hang around with," the report quoted a computer programmer, William Crawford, as saying. (ANI)
