Upon reading Amit's Digital Inspiration recent blog post about Gmail Plus I was struck with what he talks about being a useful Gmail trick of adding a "+LABEL" after your beginning email when you sign up for something online in order to track and handle SPAM. For example I could use this email address to signup for Digital Inspirations news letter and then setup a filter to look for that specific to email address and pull all incoming emails to a seperate folder. techweekly+digital inspiration@tech-weekly.com What happens is Gmail does not really care what you have after the "+" sign it ignores it except for when you are setting up filters for incoming emails. That allows you to filter things all kinds of ways. Labels: Web Minute
