How To Know New Features In Gmail
December 11th, 2007 by Henry Addo 
If you want to know new features rolled out or announcement made by the Gmail team, when login to gmail, just look at the upper right corner, just after where your email address appears, there is a red link which states the new feature or the annoucement. A quick way to know what has been added to gmail.
To me, where that link is position is not obvious, you’ve to be a very critical observer before you can take notice of it. It will be more obvious if gmail could place that as a block on the left, just like we have for labels, contacts and invite a friend block.
