Watch the final Gmail collaborative video
August 28, 2007
Posted by Arielle Reinstein, Product Marketing Manager
Several weeks back, we posted a
video
to YouTube giving a behind-the-scenes look at how Gmail messages "really" travels around the world. We then invited you to
submit your own clips
to continue the story, and Gmail fans from more than 65 countries submitted more than 1,100 fantastic videos! We have to say, we are quite overwhelmed with everyone's creativity. From two
Rubik's
cubes
, a few jaunts
in a bottle
, countless
babies
, and one
dog's trip
to the Southernmost point of the continental US, to
jugglers
,
firemen
,
camel-riders
, and original
animation
, we've had a lot of fun watching the responses come in, and we hope you have too. A big thanks to everyone who submitted clips, watched videos, and left comments for making this project so much fun!
Because of the international reach of the submissions, we used the
Google Maps API
to put together this map showing where many of the clips came from:

As you can probably tell from viewing all these amazing videos, it was truly a difficult task to try and piece together as many of these clips as we could. We know that some of your favorites (and ours) may not have made it into the final cut, so we encourage everyone to surf through
all of the submissions
.
But now, drum roll, without further ado, here is
the final video
. We hope you like it!
