YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, and Yelp previews in gmail.....

Link in your mails...... Oooh!! Once again we have to wait till the page loads. New window? New tab? always confuses the mind.
When it is a link to your Picasa or Fickr upload... you always find how to make the readers click on this link.
This is something I always came across when sending my Picasa links to my friends.
Most of the time people do not have time (or rather the need :p) to click on this extra link. Specially when its something like an image or in worst case a video.

If there is a way to let them see the video or the image linked to the mail within the mail itself. That is something I have looked for a long time.

Google labs have done it!!!
YouTube, Picasa, Flickr, and Yelp previews in the gmail enables you to see previews of photos, videos, and reviews right in your email instead of just links.

I have tested this feature in my mails in the following browsers;

1. Firefox 3.0.7
2. Google Chrome 1.0.154.48
3. Opera 9.64
4. Internet Explorer 7.0.6001
5. Internet Explorer 8.0.6001
6. Safari 4

Out of this only safari did not supported this feature.
