Phptoolkit:Glogs
 

Glogs means a Gmail Weblogs. This is similar to blogs but idea behind this script


   Web mail clients should have a button that publish desired mails to web

   You can open a personal mail and stick that mail in notice board. Why e-mail does not have any such features?
   We cannot add a button inside Gmail or Yahoo but lets find some way to facilitate mail publishing.
 

First Look at the demo. I have published few emails from Gmail. Send a mail to stated email address with GLOGPOST in subject. If you have Gmail you can even mark some of your mails and immediately check how Glogger with show that. Then play around with that toy. Host it in a server where with your Gmail account and password and login to the system. Afterward it will sort out mails and show them in public.

How to Get it

Download it free. After unzipping open php files and set $user and $password to your Gmail user name and password. Change CSS styles if you desire but how CSS styles will be changed is beyond the scope of document.

How to mark mails

Make a label in Gmail named  "glogs". Now mails labeled with glogs will be published automatically by Phptoolkit:Glogs script. If you want your friends mail directly published in Glog, make a Gmail filter that labels Gmail mails according to subject.

Limitations:

It cannot publish mails with attachments. Glogs are simple proof of concepts. Hope it can force Gmail to add this feature.

Finally, please just bear in mind that these kinds of hacking are actually violating their terms of service... so... hey, you were warned.
