What’s your Gmail story?

Google is harnessing the popularity of its free email program, Gmail, with the power of storytelling and user-generated content for a viral video campaign: What’s your Gmail story?

I found out about the campaign via this link that showed up when I logged on to Gmail this morning.

Rice launches redesigned website

Rice University‘s website has a new look as of Dec. 1.

According to the official announcement, the new look is “designed to improve usability, highlight key news items and more closely align with the university’s identity guidelines.” The new look doesn’t differ much from Rice’s old site. It’s more evolutionary than revolutionary. But that’s not a bad thing. They’ve kept some of the features from the old site in the updated version and they’ve made it cleaner and easier to navigate. Nice job.
