Imagine if you can schedule sending your email such as birthday wishes, ticket booking and etc? Or schedule when you want the email you have received to appears again when you need it. Boomerang has translated this cool idea to browser addon for Firefox and Chrome that works only in Gmail at the moment.
After you have installed the browser addon, in Gmail compose email page, there is new ‘Send Later’ button appear right beside the send button, where you can specify when you want the email to be sent. As for the received emails, ‘Receive Later’ button will appear on top of the email that you opened. While receive later might no really important, at least to me, ‘Send Later’ is quite interesting feature that I wish available in Gmail lab as well.
The browser addon is still in development stage, but if you want to try it out, download it from here and enter the invite code b4gtweet . More on the features are demonstrated in video below.

It’s known fact that human creativity is border-less. Here is how the creativity was applied to tech. Google Chrome looks and feels in Firefox, anyone? It is neat and pretty closed to Chrome, especially the forward and backward button, refresh and Home button. Even the page tab is quite closed, but because of the page tab implementation in Firefox and Chrome is different, the end result is not too closed. Thanks to TylerC that develop this theme, called Chromifox.
As a matter of fact, Google Chrome is third most used web browser, behind only Firefox in term of market share.
For someone that loved to have fresh looks on their Firefox browser, try these 2 Personas, inspired by WordPress. It is even meaningful if you use WordPress as your blogging platform. Here is how it looks. Wanna try?
Don’t forget that since Personas introduction last year, it has thousands of Personas available to choose from.
