Gmail 2,the Newer version of Gmail released, to selected people!!

Posted by Ankur Mittal 30 October, 2007

gmail-thumb1 The newer version of Gmail is now available to test to selected people.Some of the users have noted some changes in GChat and even prefetching of messages for quick loading.The loading is much faster, which is fantastic. Tweaks to the interface to further include Google Talk. Even when I set the page to not have Google Talk embedded, there are still fragements of it left in the interface.

Google Blogoscoped confirms that google has actually released the newer version of Gmail which is being tested by seleceted users so others can also try it in the coming weeks. Here is what the google Blogoscoped reads-

Google during the recent Analyst Day announced they want to release an updated version of Gmail that’s supposed to be faster than the current one, thanks to a JavaScript back-end rewrite. Also, the new version aims to improve contacts management. “Gmail 2.0” – possibly the announced update – was also mentioned in Google’s internal company goals last year, the aim being to achieve “70% user happiness" for that version.

There is no way u can switch to the new version.Google itself would select few of the users and they can only switch the new version

I have like what..4 gmail IDs 3 created through orkut :P and of these only the latest ID yes…only one has the newer version available.
Anyway, most people say it ain’t that good..its supposed to crash browsers and all that.
Thats what google search told me!
The only thing I liked about it was that I can sign into AOL thru gmail and also be invisible , a facility I need a lot.:D
