How to use Gmail for more than just email

Steve Rubel, writer on the infamous Micropersuasion-blog, has written an interesting piece on some of the excellent hacks you can apply on Gmail. He talks about

How to turn Gmail into a massive personal database (Gmail + the Google Toolbar)
How to get real-time news updates in Gmail (Gmail+ Google Talk + Twitter)
How to automatically store your bookmarks in Gmail (Gmail + del.icio.us + Yahoo Alerts)
How to manage Calendar and To-Dos in Gmail (Gmail + Backpack + GCal + GTalk + iMified)
How to blog from Gmail (Gmail + Wordpress/TypePad/Blogger + IMified)

I will for sure try some of the hacks he describes. Especially Imified looks interesting. I recently received an email about this website and it is on my list of new services to try out. Interesting to see it come back here. If you know more hacks for Gmail, share it with the rest of the GTD community in our comments!
