Over the past week, there are a few new tools added to Gmail Labs. I really like the one that allows us to “Undo Send”. I have always wondered why that was missing when we have undo delete and undo discard and other similar features that allow us to undo our action.

Although Undo Send would only work for the first five seconds after the email has been sent and if the browser is still opened, it is still an awesome feature to have. How many times have you sent out an email only to have an after thought to add something, edit something or remove a word or two from the email?

I have already enabled this feature but do not have the chance to use it yet. I hope that I don’t ever have to use it, after all, it only works for the five seconds upon hitting the Send button but I like it that I have a safety net, just in case, you know?

If you have been using the web for a while, I am sure you would already have your favorite search engine. Mine is Google because it loads fast and provides fairly comprehensive results. However, after that awful episode with Google 1.5 years ago, I have been searching for another favorite search engine.

However, as I become more web savvy, my requirements of a good search engine have changed. I now not only want a search engine that loads quickly with the most accurate results, I also want one that provides me with the highest cash back rewards. After all, I shop online so often, why not take advantage of some savings?

My search led me to AAfter Search a couple of weeks ago. I have to admit that I did not pay much attention to it and underestimated its usefulness judging from the design of the page. I had the opportunity to read up on what AAfter Search could do today and am amazed by its powerful tools.

Not only is AAfter Search a regular search engine, it is also a domain and IP checker, a reverse phone search engine, Yellow Pages, name and background searcher, spell checker and a host of other utilities. Moreover, we could also update our Twitter status from here. Oh, did I forget to mention that it has a very good cash back incentive program too?

Facebook has once again changed to a new layout. Maybe people say this is a copy of Twitter but I do not see the similarities. Seriously! However, while there are people who like this new layout, there are also people who dislike it. I am unfortunately I am in the group of people who prefer the previous layout.

You see, I am not someone who does not accept change. Previously, when Facebook changed their layout to the just changed layout, I was actually very receptive of it and preferred it over the original layout. This one, though, isn’t user-friendly at all. I keep missing my notices and pokes. I miss the live feed where I could check what’s happening with everyone on my contact list under one page.

I don’t know why Facebook needs to make this change when there was nothing wrong with the previous one. Don’t fix it if it ain’t broke, don’t they know it? Moreover, why must they copy Twitter, if at all the new Facebook layout looks like Twitter, though once again, I stress, I do not see the similarities, and yes, I do Twitter as well so I KNOW.

Those of us who use YouTube with the aim of monetizing our videos in the future are working hard towards building video views, subscribers and friends. However, like all systems, there will always be people trying to game it.

I read on Web Pro News today that there are YouTube users who try to fake their view counts. I am sure we all know that the view count could be very funny at times, even if the numbers are real. Like the case of funtwo, his video receives the highest views of all time on YouTube but the video isn’t even published in his own account. The one in this account only received 40k views instead. Don’t you think that YouTube should delete the video from the other person’s account and give the millions of views to funtwo’s account?

Anyway, YouTube is starting to clean up all these view spam so that videos will show the true view count. Hhmm I hope there will be no changes in the view count of my videos because I gained the legitimately!
