Google has upped the capabilities of Gmail with a few new additions. Namely one biggie, adding two additional languages, Arabic and Hebrew. Now even more people can enjoy Gmail in their own languages. These new languages also come with some specially designed features for languages that read right to left.
Google has also added contact pictures to Gmail. Allowing you to choose a picture you want to relate to your contact information. You can also set certain pictures to display for certain contacts in Gmail.
And last but not least, Pings for Gmail chats. Personally i turned this feature off for the sake of my sanity, as i was starting to hear pings in my sleep. But nonetheless a great notifier for Gmail chat messages.

May was a crazy month! I have been away on conferences recently, and was on vacation for a few weeks. In between and during, I was doing my best to post as much as i could in between playing in the ocean, laying in the sun, and listening to some fantastic speakers.
Stay tuned, cause im back on track with all the latest and greatest Google news!
