Gmail Hints At Managed Domain Service

An intrepid blogger delved deep into the JavaScript underpinning Google's Gmail service, and found a snippet of code pointing to a potential feature. ZDNet's Garett Rogers indented code a la Python here, either. So the mystifying snippet of code implies the one-time or future inclusion of a feature called "Manage this domain." Garett picks up the discussion from there on his blog: Their next big move will likely be GMail for domains - a powerful way for anybody who owns a domain to utilize GMail as a mail server, not just a client. Yahoo has their own small business mail product which does precisely this, and now evidence suggests Google is planning the same. A useful service to accompany such a service would be calendaring. I asked Garett via email if he thought the oft-rumored Google Calendar might debut with domain management in Gmail. He responded: "I wouldn't be surprised if they either launched it and the calendar separately... they often release things that have potential to integrate with each other separate from each other... for example, they released Google talk first -- then they integrated it with GMail." Should domain management for Gmail debut, and considering the chatter about here.") Drag this to your Bookmarks.
