Gmail Lab
Google is inviting Gmail users to participate in the testing of new features for the free messaging service.
On Thursday evening, the company introduced Gmail Labs, a new tab on the Gmail Settings page that offers a selection of experimental Gmail features for users to evaluate. Late Thursday or Friday morning, Google expects to post an announcement about Gmail Labs on the Official Gmail Blog.
At a press event Thursday afternoon at Google’s Mountain View, Calif., headquarters, Gmail product manager Keith Coleman described the opening of Google Labs as “a big change in the way we do product development here.”
