Gmail Paper - April 1, 2007

intelliot · 03-31-2007, 11:27 PM

From the Gmail homepage today:

New! Introducing Gmail Paper Everyone loves Gmail. But not everyone loves email, or the digital era. What ever happened to stamps, filing cabinets, and the mailman? Well, you asked for it, and it’s here. We’re bringing it back.

A New Button
Now in Gmail, you can request a physical copy of any message with the click of a button, and we'll send it to you in the mail.

Simplicity Squared
Google will print all messages instantly and prepare them for delivery. Allow 2-4 business days for a parcel to arrive via post.

Total Control
A stack of Gmail Paper arrives in a box at your doorstep, and it’s yours to keep forever. You can read it, sort it, search it, touch it. Or even move it to the trash—the real trash. (Recycling is encouraged.)

Keep it Secret, Keep it Safe
Google takes privacy very seriously. But once your email is physically in your hands, it's as secure as you want to make it.

i saw it on the gmail homepage, and i thought it was a weird feature. I forgot all about it being april fools day though.
I was thinking "why can't people just print it themselves" the only thing i could see that useful for would be on the offchance you needed 10,000 copies of something and were too cheap to go to a kinkos
