Google Launches Gmail Add-ons and Brings a Range of Business Tools To the Inbox (betanews.com)

Google today launched Gmail Add-ons after a beta testing period as a developer preview earlier in the year. From a report: Gmail Add-ons are extensions that bring a number of big-name services -- such as Trello, Wrike and Asana -- to your inbox. While there's a definite business and enterprise bias, it's something that available to everyone, starting right now. The arrival of Gmail Add-ons is Google's recognition of the fact that many people now spend a huge amount of time in their inboxes, and the company is trying to make its email service even more useful. Pleasingly, add-ons are available on both the web and on Android, and Google explains that "your inbox can contextually surface your go-to app based on messages you receive to help you get things done faster."

What are Trello, Wrike and Asana and why would I want them (either for business or personal use)?

If only Google had a service that you could type this into and get more information about it....

I hope they make a Buzz add-on

Right... call me when they have full integration with Sassee, Peloozoid, Looplab, and Minivivi. Not to mention Ploosnar, Roinad, and Luwest. Let's not leave out Cazoova and Johackle. Then I can really increase my bumooxa.
