No More Embarassing E-mails
‘Mail Goggles’ stops e-mails you wish you’d never sent.
Google is now helping people avoid sending embarrassing e-mails after a night of taking on a few too many.
Mail Goggles, prevents drunk e-mailing by asking a few simple math problems that must be answered within a number of seconds before the message can be sent through Gmail.
When you enable Mail Goggles, it’ll check that you’re really sure you want to send that late night Friday email. And what better way to check than by making you solve a few simple math problems after you click send to verify you’re in the right state of mind?
By default, Mail Goggles is only active late night on the weekend as that is the time you’re most likely to need it. Once enabled, you can adjust when it’s active in the General settings.
If they would add this feature to the CBC’s blog, imagine how much damage it could avoid.

Maybe Dion could enable this every time he opens his mouth

Oh man, that’s awesome. Reminds me of the TLC commercials, “Merlot and email don’t mix.”
