Gmail Labs Keeps Search Inside Mail Interface
Google has developed a search box that will appear on the left-hand navigation to save people having to tab out and opening another search box while using Gmail.
I have had similar situations as the one described in the Gmail blog:
"I used to have a problem. People would ask me questions, over chat or email, and I'd have to leave Gmail to search Google for an answer. Then I'd have to select the answer, copy it, go back to Gmail and paste the answer into the chat window or my reply. Sometimes I'd get distracted and forget to go back to Gmail, and I'd have to go through it all again when I remembered what I'd been doing."
You can add it through the Gmail Labs settings and is very handy, as the picture shows below.
As the image shows you can then choose to drop the result you want into chat or an email.
Thanks Google this one will be very handy.

Your information is both very constructive and relevant at the same time. Being a newcomer to this industry I still have a long way ahead of me. I did not realize that DM has so many facets, as described by you. Of course I do know that there are many marketing vehicles and I also know that you have to pick the bests making investments in the modern marketing tools profitable. The question in these times of financial turmoil is how to prove your points. A solid data base is one way but it has historical data only, who has the tools to predict future results, like response rates etc? To me there is one more important question; how to turn creative ideas into solid business?
