Graph Your Inbox Toolbar Measures Your Gmail Activity
Posted on 14. Sep, 2010 by William Hushburn in Headlines, Technology
For all Gmail users out there, you’d probably be interested in this application. We can’t deny the fact that Gmail users has already increased in number and Google has been making it innovative as ever. Having Gmail allows you to do a lot of things within your mailbox. Might as well want to measure how are you addicted to it. Then here comes an extension toolbar to do it for you.
The toolbar is called Graph Your Inbox. It was designed by Bill Zeller, a Ph.D at Princeton University. Mashable posted that the Google Chrome extension works by just typing related keywords. It would then present the data related to those queries in a bar graph charting the number of messages month-by-month and day-by-day. Zeller labeled this one as Google Trends for Gmail.
Graph Your Inbox is a free extension, and it doesn’t access any of your private data or “phone home” to Google. You must be logged into your Gmail account for the plugin to work; after you clear a search query, the results are gone. You can download the plugin in here.
What are you waiting for? Download the plug-in and give it a try. If you don’t like it, you have the option to disable it afterwards.
