Gmail Helps Stop Your Drunken E-mail Rants

By Scott Gilbertson October 7, 2008 Categories: Software & Tools
http://blog.wired.com/monkeybites/images/gmail.jpgIs your Saturday morning inbox filled with regret and self-loathing for the drunken e-mails you fired off the night before? If so, Gmail might have a solution for you. Google’s Gmail Labs has a new experimental featured dubbed “Mail Goggles” which will attempt to prevent you from sending out those ill-advised late night e-mails.
http://blog.wired.com/photos/uncateg...il_goggles.jpgGmail developer Jon Perlow created Mail Goggles as a kind of e-mail sobriety test. It works by stopping your message when you hit send and then presents a series of simple math problems you need to solve before you really send the e-mail.
The problems themselves aren’t very difficult, but they do serve the purpose — making you stop and think about what you’re doing.
By default Mail Goggles is set to catch late Friday and Saturday night e-mails, but you can set the days and times to whatever you like in the preferences.
To enable Mail Goggles, just head to the Labs section, select the times you want, and save your changes.

That's awesome

i dont think i've ever sent a drunk email.. is this something people do frequently?

:tapedshut

Hmm, when i'm drunk i'm in a bar, or in bed. This may be handy in future though for the divorce and all.

this will do nothing for people who are sober and angry think it's a good idea to cc people that they will regret cc-ing later

You're getting divorced??? :(

No not at all. No plans at the moment either :)

I just don't think marriages are for life - they have a shelf life.

did you include a mention of this in your vows? ;)

To have and to hold (until someone gets bored or has an affair)

Anyway, sending txt messages and emails to people by mistake is a complete and utter bastard. A guy stopped talking to me because i was bitching about him to soemone else in a txt, and because I had him in mind I sent it to him. Worked out ok in the end however, as he is a cunt.

if i had to do math first i would never send anything. not that i do anyway

awesome :D

Yeah It'd be useful for text messages, not so much emails.

Shut up.

I don't really get why people say this on a message board. Not going to listen to you, you are nobody of any importance.

I think we all feel that way about you.. You keep Netphoria together.

someone should make this the new ignore message.

The person who left a comment on that page about spam filters has a point.

message boards too. requiring a basic arithmetic test before submitting a post on Netphoria could keep people like Banana03 away forever.

Maybe instead of that, he should be forced to give the name of chords from a short list of guitar tablature diagrams.

yeah i could use this on my phone.

Bahahaha, your wife holds the same opinion right? I have to agree that it's pointless to stick with one person your entire life, but why bother getting married in the first place if that's not your plan

Yeah, unless she's rich, it's a bit pointless.

or unless you want to replace her later on with a newer, less used up model

Kids

I once got a drunk voicemail from a girl in Japan. Sad and thrilling at the same time.

:(

Seriously, can't you at least be mildly deluded about it?

he is quite clearly a pagan nazi, what more do you want from him?

:(

The truth always hurts
