Google+ Is Inside Gmail, But Here's How To Put Gmail In Google+ (GOOG)

One of the reasons Google+ has been so successful is that it's always there, hovering in the right corner of your Gmail inbox. It won't go away, and notifies you immediately if someone has paid attention to you in Google+.

Native Gmail For Google+ is a Chrome extension that puts an "unread Gmails" notification button inside Google+, so you'll always know if you have unread emails while you're perusing the 8.68 million male profiles on Google+. AddictiveTips discovered the brand new extension.

When you receive a new email in Gmail, the notifier illuminates red and shows you how many unread messages you have. If you click it, you have easy access to the sender and subject. Click an email to go straight to it in Gmail.

Click here to download the Chrome extension, and see below for a screenshot.

Publicly, the company is portraying a very defensive image — one that is very dismissive, as if RIM is profitable and class-leading, and the media is out of line to criticize its business, as are investors. Internally, however, there’s a different story to be told. It’s a story filled with attitude, cockiness, heated arguments among the executive team and Co-CEOs, and paranoia. We’ve spoken to multiple ex-RIM executives at length about their experiences with the company over the past few years. While most speak highly of RIM and their time in Waterloo, they also each left the company due mainly to RIM’s lack of vision and leadership. Read on for an exclusive inside look at a company teetering on the edge between greatness and collapse.
