GMail Gives Thanks

    Google has become infamous for its holiday logos.

    But today, Gmail went a step further. Not only did they have a themed logo, but they also gave some thanks - pretty neat:

    7 things the Gmail Team is thankful for this year
    • Our families... 4 engagements, 7 weddings, 11 new babies, 1 reunion, and 1 cross-country move by a fiancée so they "don't have to do the long-distance thing anymore" so far this year.
    • Each other—the little family we've created here makes it fun to come in to work, especially on days when we play kickball.
    • Winning the "PC World World Class Award" for being #2 on the list of The 100
    • Best Products of 2005. (We don't mind being #2, especially to Firefox. Plus, it gives us more to work for.)
    • Google Video, and one fan's video we love in particular.
    • The horn of plenty and the guy who drew it.
    • You, our users. Yes you. Again. Still.
    • Cheese. Brie, goat, cheddar, the stuff we write on our home page... :)
    Happy Thanksgiving from the Gmail Team!

    See the Gmail Home Page to better appreciate.

    I see that too... maybe it's a geolocation thing again?

    It must be geolocation. I don't get it from Poland eighter. Oh well, it was funny what they wrote though.

    I haven't seen that Thankful list. Seems in keeping with Google's sense of humor. Those little jokers!
