Project Gmail Grimace video live

Posted by Mathew Patterson on April 9, 2008 in

Thanks to the fantastic (and at times horrifying!) collection of faces sent in to our Gmail Grimaces group, we've put together a short video appeal to the Gmail team. We'd love it if you could check out the video, and then start plugging it however you can.

Blog about it, send it to your web design group, re-enact it in the foyer of your office building...anything you can do to get this video seen as many times as we can, so that we can eventually reach the right people. We'll also be uploading all the images so you can make your own video very soon. Watch the 2008 Gmail Appeal.

Well done guys. I think you did an excellent job on that and hopefully it garners some extra attention.

I’ll blog about it today.

So… when do we set our sights on Outlook 2007? That’s the email client that breaks my heart.

abberdab, Gmail was the heart breaker for me. How can a company that does so much good have done so much bad? At least Outlook was almost expected since it’s Microsoft.
