Gmail Video: E-mail Without the Internet

Unfortunately due to a server failure in April 2008, posts made prior will not have any of the referenced images... my wordpress content folder was wiped out. Sorry if that causes any confusion when reading. -ac

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!)
