Google's G-Mail service is implementing a new feature that is sure to get lots of use: an "un-send" button. That's right. If you've ever sent an e-mail to the wrong recipient or wished you had worded it differently or instantly regretted saying something, this is the feature for you. After you hit send, you'll see a bar at the top of the screen with the words "Your message has been sent. Undo." Then, if you click undo, it takes you back to the message draft and you can work on it some more or delete it altogether. Here's the catch: you only have 5 seconds to un-send - which you can extend to ten in the settings - so this is more for those instant mistakes or regrets. The feature is still experimental and can be accessed from the "Labs" tab in your G-Mail settings.
