Title: Gmail: The Game (With Achievement points and badges)
Post by: Tieno on October 03, 2010, 01:59:36 PM: (http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2010/09/500x_0boxer-title.jpg)
Here's how it works:

Sign in through your Google account, tying it to 0Boxer, at www.0boxer.com
Grab the 0Boxer extension for either Chrome or Safari.
Head over to Gmail and start organizing your mail. 0Boxer will start assigning you points for your activity, and you'll see a little top bar tracking your progress.

After archiving or deleting a few messages you will earn your first badge and see your stats rise. While 0Boxer keeps you informed with a little bar up top in Gmail, you can always check your full stats via your 0Boxer profile. If you want to see how you're stacking up against others, a daily leaderboard keeps track of the rankings in real time.

0Boxer is available right now for Chrome and Safari (Firefox and others coming soon), completely free.

Playing it atm :smug

When does taking out the trash become a game with achievements?
When you play this game, didn't you read my post?

I meant real trash. Like the kind someone picks up and burns so that it can float up to the sky and become stars.
No idea, man. Could be a cool game though.
