Two New Tools: Gmail Uploader and FON.gs
We love technology and FON is all about sharing. With that in mind we're going to keep offering tools to make life easier. We've already released La Fonera, Gspace, and the Mac and Linux FONspots. Today I have two new ones for you; Gmail Uploader and FON Get Simple.
Gmail Uploader addresses one of the biggest drawbacks of Gmail. Gmail starts from scratch offering you no way to import old emails. Gmail Uploader solves this problem so you can now search both your past and your present mail!
FON Get Simple, or www.fon.gs, blends TinyURL with your own need to have MEMORABLE URLS. Try www.fon.gs/empirestate and see. Fon.gs is great for youtube videos or any videos, for maps, for songs, torrents, any type of long link that not only you want to simplify.

Gmail has a built-in mail fetcher, which can be used to get mail from other accounts. It also retains the correct date for the messages - unlike Gmail Uploader.
Gmail Uploader looks great but it lacks a little help on the page; I can't browse and select a .mbox file on my MacBook because .mbox files appear like folders so the upload dialog box cannot select them, instead it opens them and there's a .plist file and another folder with each message.. I tried with Firefox & Safari, I also tried from Windows XP..
