Here's a review of Google's Gmail, written by a Beta user.
This is the time to say that for Gmail you are not senders of electronic messages, you are "conversers." For this reason, when you delete a message, Gmail will tell you, "The conversation has been moved to the trash."Link (via Interesting People) [Boing Boing] Posted by actionhero at April 20, 2004 01:38 PMThis is about more than semantics. If, in Hotmail for example, you send four emails to four friends, asking them their opinion about a certain restaurant, every answer comes in as a separate email. Google thinks this is a mistake. "It's a conversation," the service maintains, and it put all the answers together under one roof - the "conversation." Thus, instead of four answers, you'll get one answer containing the messages from each friend who responded to your question.
