New List link needed

Dear Twitter,

My lists page needs a "New list" link like my home page has.

I would also like to be able to sort my lists in an order different than that in which I created them. Alphabetical would be better.

Thanks,

Chrome Bookmarks --> New Tab

Dear Google Chrome,

Please add an option to the bookmark editing window to have a bookmark always open in a new tab instead of the current tab.

Some bookmarks I just know I'll always want to have in a fresh new tab instead of my current tab.

Thanks,

Gmail --> Docs?

Dear Gmail,

In addition to attachment links for "View as HTML" and "Download" can you add a link to "Import into Docs"?

Loading contacts every time?

Dear Gmail Mobile,

Must you really reload my 2,000+ contacts every single time I compose an email or reply to one?

That is a painful and powerful disincentive to doing either.

If you really wanted to be helpful, this would integrate with my BlackBerry's address book instead.

You've done a good job of speeding up reading of email, too, by the way.

Shelfari Irrelevance

Dear Shelfari,

When you sent me an email with a subject line of "Shelfari Groups discussing your books!" I imagined the content of the email would show me specific groups discussing my books.

The email content was neither about groups discussing my books nor about my books. Instead the headline in the email is "Books on your shelf also appear on these groups' bookshelves." That's not "Groups discussing my books"!! There's a not-so-flattering name for this kind of practice.

I know Jeff Bezos is fascinated by Bayesian algorithms, but really, when is the irrelevance going to stop?

I've turned your emails off. If they were actually about groups discussing books that I'm reading now, then I might be interested.

Basics: Clickable links

Dear Google Voice,

If someone texts me a link, can you make it clickable from
https://www.google.com/voice#inbox?

Google Mobile Confusing

Dear Google,

From my mobile browser, I find your m.gooogle.com site to be rather confusing.

It's inconsistent between (a) links that go to an application and (b) links that go to a mobile page.

It would be better if you had all your apps on one page, and all your mobile pages on another.

Also, many of your pages are missing links back to the main Google mobile Web home page.
