Google Lets Google+ User Land In Your Gmail Inbox

administrator — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 05:49:39 +0000

Google announced new integration between Gmail and Google+, Gmail users will have a broader pool of names to select from, as Google+ connections will start to appear below saved contacts when typing out a recipient.

According to a blog post by Google product manager David Nachum, the sender will be able to send an email using only the person’s name. Your email address won’t be displayed to people who send you a message through Google+, but will become visible if you reply. The system will be turned on by default, but Google said it would let users opt out.

Emails from people you follow on Google+ will appear in your primary inbox; emails using the new system from people you don’t follow will appear in Gmail’s “social” inbox tab.

Back in December 2011, Google started keeping Gmail contacts automatically updated via Google+. Now Gmail goes a step further by suggesting your Google+ connections as recipients when you are composing a new email. These are potentially useful additions for Gmail users who actually use Google+, although there is clearly room for annoying emails. You can also adjust the “Email via Google+” setting in Gmail once it’s available to avoid receiving message from people you really don’t want to spam your inbox.

Yahoo has acquired SkyPhrase, a start-up with a focus on natural language processing. According to the blog post revealed by the company Skyphrase will join Yahoo’s New York office and will work with Yahoo to help continue its goal of marketing computers deeply understand people’s natural language and intentions.

The acquisition is just the latest in a spree of purchases by Yahoo under Marissa Mayer’s leadership and it suggests that Yahoo shares the same interest in understanding complex, colloquial input that major tech companies from Facebook to Google have ventured into.

The challenge for Yahoo will be see if they grow SkyPhrase to touch ore of their products. The race for NLP is on, the stakes are high and all of the big players, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, Amazon and Nuance are in a buying frenzy. Yahoo however is the one of that seems to be the best at leveraging the tech in products that reach consumers in the least amount of time.

The acquisition indicates Yahoo sees voice search as a thing of the future-an idea touted most recently by Google. The internet giant has been pushing its Google now voice search service over the last year, and it has even hinted that voice search is where internet browsing is headed. However Yahoo hasn’t specifically detailed what SkyPhrase will be doing under the Yahoo labs research firm.
