Gmail: Personal Nerve Center

I only use Gmail as email and file storage. Only two functions.

But, when I read this, WOW. The link discuss on how to turn your Gmail into a center for almost common activities on the Internet. This is the gist of the article.

• How to turn Gmail into a massive personal database (Gmail + the Google Toolbar)
• How to get real-time news updates in Gmail (Gmail+ Google Talk + Twitter)
• How to automatically store your bookmarks in Gmail (Gmail + del.icio.us + Yahoo Alerts)
• How to manage Calendar and To-Dos in Gmail (Gmail + Backpack + GCal + GTalk + iMified)
• How to blog from Gmail (Gmail + Wordpress/TypePad/Blogger + IMified)

Impressive :).
