Gangsta Mail
So I found a pretty cool feature built into Gmail (google mail). The other day I sent a package via Fedex and was given a long tracking number. I went to Fedex's tracking web site and typed the long string of numbers into the site. Not really ever wanting to type those numbers again, I noticed that I was able to email myself the tracking information. I figured that I could just cut and paste the tracking number from the email. It turns out that within gmail it knowns that the email contained tracking information. A suggestion link with the option to track the package is displayed next to the email. How easy is that, but then again pretty scary that google knowns what is within my email.
