Gmail introduces 'Mail Goggles' to prevent drunk e-mailing and other mishaps

posted by Etan Horowitz on Oct 7, 2008

You've got it to hand it to the engineers at Gmail for frequently coming up with some useful and fun new features.

The latest is called "Mail Goggles" and it's designed to stop you from sending that 3 a.m. message to your ex begging her to get back together with you. It's similar to a car that requires you to pass a breathalyzer test before you can turn the ignition on.

Once you enable Mail Goggles, it's only active late at night on weekends, the time you're most likely to regret sending a message. Before your message is sent, you will be asked to complete a set of math problems, which Gmail hopes will make sure you are sure you want to send that message. Here's what that will look like.

You can adjust when Mail Goggles is active, in case you are in danger of sending messages you will regret later more often that just late on the weekends.

Now if only Google or someone else could come up with a similar program to prevent drunk dialing and texting, the world would be a lot better place.

People just shouldn't post stuff while they're drunk. Stones fans need to set an example for other message boards and young people. Posting drunk is unacceptable behavior and what's more ...politiically incorrect.

Stones is Stones.
