I’m a big fan of the Gmail Labs and have been religiously monitoring cool features that the Gmail Labs Team put out every now and then. I’ve tried activating some of those features including offline email viewing, task manager and more. And now, Gmail has just announced another cool feature – previewing YouTube videos, Flickr and Picasa photos and Yelp links right inside Gmail items.
Of course having these features enabled on your Gmail account saves you the trouble of visiting the links to view those videos, photos or links. Now you can immediately determine whether you should check those links or complete skip it and go on with your other tasks.
Like all the other Gmail Labs features, to activate this on your Gmail, just go click on the Labs tab under Settings, and enable the feature.
Hopefully, Gmail preview would include other content sites that is usually attached on Gmail messages aside from YouTube, Picasa, Flickr and Yelp.
