InfoCaris Ideas

• That draft items that are starred don't lose this sign when they're updated. It's a little annoyance, but annoying none the less. 
• The mail/contacts/tasks right under the Gmail logo seems rather redundant and unnecessarily unpractical. Why not create buttons like for chat/gadgets and bundle all of these underneath the Gmail logo. While displaying their names on the right of that logo when hovering over them. Thusly keeping it simple for young and old(er). 

In order to use G+ more easily an option to allow the circle creators to make them visible to everyone by default or just the members of the group. So that those who see the name of the circle can use it as a filter. Making browsing through a single users content easier.

Smart updating : when adding YouTube clips and you have a certain label in your post add that clip to your YouTube playlist unless it's already on it.
Post timeline : some content comes back almost every year (birthday's of people made more knowledgable through a Google Doodle, moon eclipses, seasons, the anniversary of your blog and so on).

Smart stats : for instance when a post gets more attention then an other one, that data could also be used create a featured widget. (Google Blogger feedback)

Thanks for adding a Facebook e-mail address, but could we also get some aliases for the pages or groups that we (co-)admin? So that you could use it as a notication method. Since not everyone checks everything all the time.

Quite often, when printing something out of Gmail, the result ends up on two pages.
While it could have gone on a single page. So why not have a feature that automaticly adjusts what you want to print so that it takes the smallest amount of pages. While still keeping it readable.

Perhaps by turning the print button into a dropdown option :

• print normal
• print compact
• print fill up (to maximize readability and space usage, bascily decompacting)

In order to control the mail flow I made a lot of filters that tag most of them with a label.
But is it really necessary to have the same information shown twice?
Once through the sender information and once through the label.

Which is quite cluttering, especially when you use "nested" labels" and "multiple inboxes".
Something that could be added to the filter rules.
Or it could just as well be a separate feature, so that it can be further specified :

• hide sender information if label(s) present
• the ability to set exceptions to the rules through default and custom settings
• the ability to set if you only want to see the final name or a number of nested labels tree levels
• the ability to keep showing icons (like the buzz logo) in case it would be linked to the sender data
