On October 13^th and 14^th, Googlers and many
people around the world will head out to clean up local parks,
beaches, trails and other places close to home. We'll be
planning our cleanups using href="http://maps.google.com/" >Google Maps and sharing our
plans with friends and families, along with an invitation to help.
So far, Googlers have sent in almost 100 cleanup maps and proposed
plans, and have invited more than 900 of their personal contacts to
help.

And since many small cleanups add up to one big impact, we hope
you'll join in too. It takes just a few minutes to plan your
own cleanup, make a map of it, and send your map to us — we'll
add it to a growing map of all the cleanups around the world. If
you keep your cleanup small (groups of 6-10 people work best) and
close to home, it'll be easy to organize and you can be sure
that you're doing what's most important for your
neighborhood. After your cleanup, share your work with the world by
posting photos and videos to your map.

If you'd like to join this global effort, you can href="http://maps.google.com/help/maps/cleanup/" >get started

It's high time for us to release a small update for our href="http://mail.google.com/mail/help/notifier/index.html" >Gmail
Notifier for Mac (OS X). We've added a few things of our
own and got some ideas from users too. Some of the changes
are:

it's a universal binary, so it will run natively on PowerPC
and Intel Macs;

it will notify you when a new version is available and
automatically upgrade itself; and…drum roll, please…

it has new icons (we know it's what you've asked
for!).

Also, as many of you know, the Gmail Notifier href="http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2005/09/extras-for-your-mac-gmail-notifier.html" >
supports plug-ins, and one of our users wrote a cool plug-in
called href="http://wafflesoftware.net/gmailgrowl/google/" >Gmail Growl
that displays visual Growl
notifications when new mail arrives. Very cool and worth checking
out. So download the Mac Gmail Notifier once again, and we'll
take care of the rest.
