Other uses for GMail

Check out some uses for GMail, besides, uh, mail:

1. A blog (Gallina). Site seems to be down, though.


2. A mountable Linux filesystem (GmailFS). Haven't tried out this one yet. Update: Tried it. Works like a charm.


3. A photo gallery (Goollery).


4. An atom feed. While logged in on GMail, go to https://gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom. Go ahead, give it a whirl.


5. A shell namespace extension for Windows (Gmail Drive)
   
   
   
   


6. (Not exactly another use for GMail, rather) A browser status bar notifier (GMail Notifier).
   
   
   
   


7. Your own vanity GMail button.
   
   
   
   


8. Hey, look! There's even a Java API!

What will they think of next? Mobile GMail, perhaps? Or a mailing list archive based on GMail? NB: jump to Aimless Words for more ways to use GMail.

Update: Google Mail is now mobile.
