I spend a lot of my day using Gmail. In fact, all of Google’s productivity apps: mail, calendar, tasks and documents. I’m a big fan, as well.
For the last two days, I’ve spent a few minutes poking around Google Plus because I get the sense that it’s on the verge of breaking out.
One of the things I’ve noticed is how many older Google services have been integrated into Google+, for example, Picasa Photos and Google Local.
Then, it hit me like a ton of bricks: why isn’t Gmail integrated right into Google Plus? Certainly, if Google started migrating Mail users into Plus via integration, that would cause it to take off like a rocket, no?
Of course, the transition would need to be done well. Nobody like it when their cheese is moved. I get that. I’m just saying that it seems pretty obvious to me that Gmail should be integrated into Google+.
