Gmail Video: E-mail Without the Internet

About a month ago, the Gmail team over at Google released the first part of a video clip that is an imaginative way of thinking about how e-mail would be delivered without the internet: lots of smaller video clips edited together show people, animals, and all sorts of other random things transporting a Gmail logo from the sender to the recipient. Google asked for user submissions to extend the video and the final product was released today! Take a look, it is a pretty hilarious compilation with lots of original ideas! (my favorite is the LEGO man dropping it in his mailbox) They’ve also created a map that shows where all the submissions came from and it is really pretty astounding to see the worldwide audience that responded! (UPDATE: I embedded the map simply because it is a new feature available from Google Maps that I haven’t tried out yet!)
