#2I really don't see the need for something like this. We have instant messaging, SMS, Twitter, and so on for this functionality. I think it would be better served to make instant messaging more universal and have less boundaries.

#3I don't know why TechCrunch is going so Glasgow over Google's ass for Gmail. It works perfectly fine for me and no one I know has complained either.
It's the TC who should rather work on TechCrunch Lite.

#5I think this exists as the HTML version of Gmail. If you want Gmail to be lite, quick and dirty - use the HTML version and you'll be cruising in no time.
(To use the HTML version, click the link on the load screen. Or in the footer of your inbox if you've already logged in).

#6If sending email is too daunting of a task, then stop using Gmail to communicate, and switch to "superior" platforms like Twitter and Facebook Messages.
For me, email is the way to go for online communication. Gmail Labs like inbox preview and mouse gestures, and keyboard shortcuts in Preferences help speed up my mail experience.

#7> If you want to be formal with someone, send them a letter.
That, right there. That's where I stopped reading. They're advocating basically building an asynchronous (in the sense of people) chat client instead of Gmail because you're supposed to "send people a letter" if you're going to begin a message with "Hello" and end with "Regards".
This article is so stupid that I don't even have the courage to dissect (or read) it further.

#9This guy wrote a whole news story because he finds hitting TAB and then ENTER too difficult as compared to simply hitting ENTER, and he would like a team of google engineers to roll out a new product with a new name to solve his problem?
And this is supposed to be in the name of efficiency?
