A few weeks ago my friends decided to take advantage of my Facebook page. I neglected to log out before consuming too much red wine. Inevitably, my drunken friends sent a racy video to a guy who had been messaging me non-stop and bugging me at work. They thought it was harmless. The next time I saw him at work was the most awkward three minutes of my life. It would have been nice to have some kind of filter to prevent this from happening. Leave it to Google to invent something close to this filter - mail goggles.
Mail goggles are intended to prevent users from sending e-mail they will regret in the morning. So how does it sense your drunken state? It doesn't really. Before it allows you to send the e-mail it asks you a series of math questions. I don't know how well this would work for me since I am unable to do math sober. Anyways, I think this feature would be best suited for Facebook or my cell phone rather than my g-mail account, but it's a step in the right direction. I suppose I could always drink less and that would be good enough prevention...
