Google Plus invite give away

Would you like an invite to Google Plus, Googles new social network, the “Facebook and Twitter killer”?
I have a few invitations, post a comment here with your gmail address (currently it seems only gmail accounts are accepted, you should also have filled out your google profile)

For Swedish speakers this is another option to get a Google+ invitation: gratis

[Edit: As I understand it Google Plus is now open for all gmail accounts. I still have plenty of invites, so comment here if you want one and don’t have a gmail email address]

Filter by Label in Gmail

I have just started playing around with Filters in Gmail. This is one thing that took me some time to figure out, how to filter by label. It turns out it was quite easy, it seems you can use any search string in the “Has the words” field of your filter. To get a label you simply put “label:your-label-name” in there.

You will get a warning: “Warning: Filter searches containing “label:”, “in:”, or “is:” criteria are not recommended, as these criteria will never match incoming mail.”
I think this makes sense as incoming email would not have a label.

Get a Google Wave invite

I have been trying out Google Wave for a few days now and I have to say that I’m not that impressed with the user experience – it is not at all inutitive, this is obviously the type of program where you really have to read the manual! But I will give it some more time, read that manual, watch the instruction videos etc.

Anyway, I have some Google Wave invites so if you’re interested just comment here with your email and I will give away on a first come first serve basis.

Ps. I’m looking for a Voddler invite, anyone got one?

[Edit: I’m out of invites. Will post here again if I get new ones]
