Gmail Hack
For whatever reason, my Gmail account isn’t working on my browser, and yet, when I open Gmail from my Blackberry, I get it fine. So, it dawned on me to try running Gmail Mobile from my desktop and see the results.
First off, it worked. Second, it gave me an idea for a hack.
See, the page for Gmail Mobile is much more simplified and reduced. Everything is formatted perfectly for small screen viewing, with no frills, etc. This is what that prompts you to do:
- Write smaller emails.
- Be more precise.
- Dally less.
- Scan less.
- Trash more.
- Work faster.
Try it yourself and see what your experience is. I wonder if I’m on to something here.

I find that gmail locks up right after logging in in both IE and Firefox, but refreshing the page brings it back up. Thanks for the mobile hack!
