EMAIL SERVICE Gmail will receive a facelift according to a leaked video.
Google's popular Gmail service will receive cosmetic changes that include the ability to automatically change the layout according to window size and the ability to alter the density of items shown on the screen. There are also changes to the look and feel of Gmail threads, which now look a bit more like Google+ conversations.
Google will change the look of Gmail to match its corporate branding of flatter icons, however the layout will remain much the same. There has been a move towards ditching Javascript where possible and embracing HTML5, with the latest changes suggesting further HTML5 integration.
For Google, Gmail is one tool that its social networking rivals, Facebook and Twitter, simply don't have. If, as the video is implying, there's greater integration with Google+ then it marks a logical move to push Google+ to the vast number of Gmail users.
Although Google removed the leaked video from Youtube, it has since been reposted and with the cat well and truly out of the bag, it seems that Google has left it online. µ

Gmail is popular? I have a gmail account, i was forced into creating an account via youtube. I didn't like having to be forced into it and never use it, hotmail is better anyway. Gmail numbers are fake, google are fake and learnt enough about them over the years to not touch their products if i can. LOL at Google+ users who think they listen to users, that won't last. LOL at their illusion of transparency over privacy, they follow your data trends more than the govts, they have a very different definition of privacy to us.
Instead of fighting against each other, why don't they integrate feeds from Twatter, Facebook and G+? Us users can't be bothered keeping an eye on multiple accounts and generally back out of them all bcause of market-share pig-headed stubborness. I simply can't be bothered to set up another social networking account, one is enough and I hardly use that one it's becoming so full of inane bumph ... or maybe I have boring mates
