Google Gives in on Gmail

At last, Google removed Gmail's "On Behalf of..." message, something I suggested 2 years ago. As they target the business market, I'm optimistic we'll see more user-friendly improvements.

Finally, Google has decided to remove the “On Behalf of…” message from Gmail that so many of us had to put up with when forwarding email under the guise of a work account. I’m surprised that it took Google this long, since they make a living by being responsive to their user base. I remember emailing the Google Labs folks a suggestion to remove the offending three words almost 2 years ago, when I realized that I couldn’t rely on Gmail for my work email needs, and I’m sure I wasn’t the only one.

As Google grows up and slowly – or not so slowly – maneuvers to corner the business market, I’m guessing we should expect more of these changes. Or at least, I’m hoping ::fingers crossed::
