Like many millions Internet users all over the world, I’ve been using Gmail as my primary e-mail address for quite some time now. I’ve gotten used to the simple interface and even managed to learn the keyboard shortcuts.

But the main thing that made me fell head over heels about Gmail was it’s spam filter. It simply worked, keeping thousands of viagra, penis enlargement and cialis e-mail spam at bay.

I made no effort to keep my Gmail address hidden, I used it all over the web, even in some shady websites, in trust of the mighty spam filter would keep my inbox clean of Nigerian pyramid schemes or fake university degrees.

From some time now, I’ve been getting some weird e-mails about some business propositions, mainly in the domain name market. I have a couple of domain names laying around that I will develop someday, but that doesn’t make me the type of guy to approach about some "buy hundred domain names for 99$" deal.

To be honest I didn’t even noticed, my faith remained strong that the good old spam filter was working around the clock for me, but the number of weird e-mails have been increasing. I was thinking that I’ve shouldn’t have registered at that free porn website while reading this post at Mashable about others noticing exactly the same behavior in Gmail. I was pretty confident that those e-mails were all my fault, I can feel my faith slowly fading away as more and more spam gets in.

Are the spammers getting smarter? Is this a sign that what used to be the most reliable e-mail service I’ve used, is having some internal issues? Is this only the beginning or is this just a small hiccup?

I’m worried, because I’ve gotten so used to Gmail that I’m afraid that I couldn’t revert back to good old [Insert your favorite desktop e-mail client here].

Like many millions out there i’ve been using Gmail as my primary e-mail app.
I open gmail several times a day. I’ve tried a couple of Firefox extensions to improve gmail but never kept them for long.

I’ve always tried being a more organized person. I’ve tried several apps, pda’s, PIM’s and even webapps. But i’ve always failed miserably in using them for long.

One of the webapps that i had tried was RTM (Remember the Milk). I think it’s safe to say that it’s the leader of the todo-lists webapps. It has many integration features but i never took the time to explore it properly.

Recently RTM dev team lauched a firefox extension that integrates RTM into Gmail.
I didn’t jump on the early adopters bandwagon on this one. But after reading Gina Trapani’s review of the extension in Lifehacker i’ve downloaded and installed the extension.

I love the thing.. every time i open my gmail there it is, a beatiful list of all my tasks for the following days.
The only complaint is that it can’t be moved around, like an igoogle module. But hey, it’s free, it works and it keeps me organized.

You can download the extension here.
