I love shortcuts, anything that I can do to make my life easier, or some menial task less tedious while still achieving a high quality result is what I generally aim for. This is especially true when it comes to my workflow on my computer, I am a sucker for keyboard shortcuts. So it always surprises me and delights me when I learn about a new shortcut, especially one as simple as this.
One of the most useful features in Gmail that goes largely unnoticed is the ability to make a phone call from Gmail, or more specifically from Gmail Chat. If you have a Gmail account, live in the United States, and have a webcam or microphone, then you can, for free, call any phone number (cell, or landline) in the US.
Gmail is a great email service. I have been using it since we had less than 2GB of space available. One of the most common complaints I have heard from people converting to Gmail is the conversation view, and how they would prefer that the messages be listed in the traditional chronological order. Personally, I like conversation view because it keeps the relevant responses together, creating a threaded history of the conversation. But for those who prefer the standard chronological email view, there is an option to turn off Gmail’s conversation view.
