It's google to the rescue...again!

We have all done it, come on, admit it. You have got drunk or maybe just bored or maybe you didn't take everyone off the cc list. Whatever it was, you felt a burning desire to state your feelings in an email? Once you click that send button, you know that you've made a terrible mistake.

Jon Perlow at Google has to our rescue. Under their 70:20:10 philosophy he come up with a cool new tool for Gmail that may prevent us from emailing while drunk, Mail Goggles.



So you stagger out of the pub after seeing your ex cosying up to some other bloke and fire off an email to her. Typically this mail can take the form of an ill informed rant or a declaration of undying love. Either way it's all wrong! But once you hit the send button on mail , Mail Goggles will present you with five maths questions that must be solved in a limited amount of time. Only if you complete the sums in the given time will your message be sent.

Mail Goggles activates by default to weekends and nights, but of course you can adjust that to be more in balance with your personal 'happy hour!' - Enjoy
