How to get the new Gmail

Google is on fire. Three major changes in a week. Something big has been planned. First it was Google+, then the new look of Google home page and now a complete new look of Gmail. This change was anticipated keeping the new look of in mind. With this, we can also expect some changes in the look of Google and Google . The new Gmail has a cleaner and more refined look. A snapshot of the new Gmail:

It looks more elegant (to some extent it looks like Hotmail, am I right?). I guess the new look blend more with Google+ and Google are making strides towards unifying the Google experience. Change is in the air. We cannot escape it, for sure. Though the new Gmail is not launched yet but you can still enjoy the new look of Gmail by enabling the preview theme.

How to get the new look:

  • Go in to your mail settings.
  • Click on the themes tab
  • Select the Preview (Dense) or Preview theme

Enjoy the new look of Gmail. Feedback, suggestions and questions are welcome.

The recent buzz in the industry is Google+, the candidate to compete with ‘The ‘ (Is Google trying to avenge the murder of by Facebook :P). Social Networking Sites have evolved to a great extent and are a good source of information which can help in personalising the web experience (Google always pressed for the web experience to be person oriented). With the recent spat between Facebook and Google (remember the malign campaign against Goggle by Facebook PR company?) it was quite evident that Google will have its own way and the Google+ indeed seems to be an apt answer to Facebook. Google started the project step by step with Google , Google and now its in penultimate stage. If you want to find out more about Google+, here is a link to the demo:

As of now Google+ is available only to a handful of users but soon they will start rolling down the invitations. If you want to request an invitation go to this link:

Did someone add you?:

If someone adds you to his/her circle, you might not get an email but you still CAN be able to join Google+. Go to and see if it gives you the option of joining Google+.

On Google+ but do not know how to invite friends from Facebook? Click Here.

Get a Google+ invite by subscribing to the blog:

So many people have requested for a Google+ invite but it is not possible for me to copy 300 mail address one by one and then invite them. An easier way is subscribe to this blog (This is not to promote my blog, once you get your invite you are free to unsubscribe from it). And then I can download the subscriber details in CSV format and add them to Google contacts and will invite them in bulk. I have just sent Google+ invite to 27 active subscriber of the blog. So if you want one, subscribe to the blog rather than adding a request in the comment box. Thank you.

Note:

I invite all the subscriber around 3 times a day. If you do not get the invite or not able to use the invite, its not because of me but Google. In any case, all the subscriber are invited in each round so there is no chance for anyone to be left behind. Like a good doctor I do my duty, the rest is in God’s (Google in the case) hand.

Update:

Google has blocked my Google+ profile for violating the terms and condition. I sent so many invitations that it irritated them. So much for my philanthropy work. It means I am no more allowed to send any invitation. I have created another profile to invite people but having trouble getting all my contacts on Google+.

People who earlier got Google+ invitation but were not allowed to join should check that old mail again and try again.

Special thanks to Mark, Steve, Mohamed, Jean Baez, Ахлам малак, Kriz for helping out people with G+ invites.

[update] News: Google changed its search home page with black header bar

The one thing which I noticed this morning was the a change in the looks of Google homepage. It has a black header from now onwards. This black bar can be seen by only a selected number of users (I am glad to be the among the “chosen ones”). The new look of Google homepage is rolled out with the much talked Google+. Apart from Google homepage, this black bar is visible in Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Docs, Picasa etc.  Chris Wiggins, Google’s digital creative director, quoted in his blog .

We’re working on a project to bring you a new and improved Google experience, and over the next few months, you’ll continue to see more updates to our look and feel.

He further added that it is an effort to provide a consistent experience irrespective of the Google product. Take a look at the screen shot:


My Reaction: It looks kinda distracting to me. Probably I am not used to it at present. It seems weird at the moment and equally annoying as the you tube with black screen or facebook pics with black background but (I hope) with time people will get used to it for sure. So be ready to face the change from Google as it is also bringing the much awaited Google social networking site Google+. Its raining change, Enjoy :)

Update:

Seems like Google has changed the decision of black bar in one day only (or are they still experimenting?). I do not see the black bar at the top instead it is replaced by a white bar and the there are some other changes in visuals as well. For eg.

  • The side bar at the search page (Which gives you option like everything, Images, Videos etc ) is now gray.
  • On the main page the link like advertisement, business solutions etc have been moved to the bottom of the page.
  • The Google Doodle is smaller in size now.
  • The Google Advanced Search Icon (with magnifying glass ) is now blue in color.

Take a look at the latest screenshots:
