I think I may have found the most useful plug-in ever. It’s called Xoopit and it’s awesome.
Basically what it does is find all your media sent you via gmail and displays it at the top. For me, a graphic designer, this is a major time saver. I need to find that picture of Lisa Loeb that her manager sent me to put on the website? Well look at that! There’s a thumbnail right there with the picture I need. When I click on it, it goes directly to the media! Fabulous. I can’t tell you how obsessed I am with it.
So how it works: You go to xoopit.com and sign in using your gmail account. Then xoopit begins the arduous task of cycling though all your emails and finding media. This process takes a while so give it an overnight cycle before it kicks in.
Then you install a firefox plug in that will actually work with gmail to display your media above your email like this:
After all your media has been catalogued you can see it in gmail or you can go to xoopit.com/feed and they show you all your media in 1 handy-dandy site. You can even separate everything by media type.
Basically, this is the coolest thing I have ever seen and I demand that you try it out immediately!
