Google Offers a Lasso for the Rodeo in your Inbox

By IGI Global on Sep 30, 2010
Many individuals find their email inboxes overwhelming at times. Google has recently stepped in to assist users who find themselves swamped in emails, by implementing "Priority Inbox" in their Gmail system. This feature separates incoming messages into categories based on previous user interaction. The filter uses an algorithm to track email addresses that users respond to most, types of mail most usually opened, and messages more often deleted before reading than others, to decide how to assign a message to a category. Users can further amend the setting details if desired; however, Priority Inbox works automatically. Google hopes that this service will allow users to better manage the influx of emails so many claim to encounter. Matthew Glotzbach, Google Enterprise's Director of Product Management, applied the intended benefit of Priority Inbox to the common user, "If you're in meetings and you come back to your e-mail and you have five minutes between appointments and you have 50 e-mails, which five messages do you spend your time on in that window of time?"

Interdisciplinary Advances in Adaptive and Intelligent Assistant Systems: Concepts, Techniques, Applications, and UseIn order to meet research demands covering these innovations, IGI Global, publisher of information science and technology, has released Interdisciplinary Advances in Adaptive and Intelligent Assistant Systems: Concepts, Techniques, Applications, and Use, a new title that delves into advancements, like Google's Priority Inbox, that contribute to the continuous upkeep of global information. Editor Gunther Kreuzberger, TU Ilmenau, Germany, explains, "Our information spaces have been technologised, and their size as well as their complexity increased. Access to information spaces and the capability to use them effectively and efficiently have become key economical success factors."
With co-editors Aran Lunzer, Hokkaido University, Japan, and Roland Kaschek, KIMEP, Kazkhstan, Kreuzberger intends for this publication to encourage knowledge on effective and efficient approaches to accessing information spaces. The book fosters an emerging key competence: accessing and processing large, highly complex corpora of information by applying collaborative, intelligent technical systems. It is the mission of this book to trigger interdisciplinary research and cooperation at the intersection between information sciences, information technologies and communication sciences.
