Google Gmail Humor

Out of the blue this morning I noticed a bit of humor embedded in Gmail. While browsing your email, there is a header link that is displayed while you are browsing your email(see image below). The topics that show up here are configurable in Mail Settings -> Web Clips section. You can choose from NPR, BBC, Yahoo, etc.

While interesting this isn't really all that funny. The fun part comes in while you are viewing the spam folder. Instead of the link using your preset topics, it instead shows a random recipe from recipesource.com where spam is the main ingredient. Nothing earth shattering here, but humorous nevertheless.

Neither can I see any Mail Settings -> Web Clips section nor any links as u have described. May be it is localized? or something else?

Re: Google Gmail Humor

Im not sure about that. From Gmail, I click the "Settings" link at the top right near "Help" and "Sign out". From the settings page, there are various headings broken out like tabs at the top of the page. They include items like "General", "Labels", "Filters", "Forwarding and POP", and "Web Clips". Under the Web Clips page, I can add and remove the types of content that I want to see "advertised" when browsing my mail.

This Web Clips feature seems to not be available for all gmail users for now. Like other gmail ehancement, it may take some times.
