TrueNew for Chrome Helps You Hit Inbox Virtual Zero!

Image courtesy of: Nerd Merit BadgesI was super excited when I heard that Dave Martorana, the creator of MultiFirefox and Mailroom for the iPhone, was launching TrueNew for Chrome.  After testing it out, I couldn't be happier with a Chrome extension that's both useful and unobtrusive.  Dave explains what it does over on the Chrome Extension page:

Instead of showing only your unread count (blue lozenge), it also shows you the number of new emails since the last time you took any action on your mailbox (the green, right-half of the lozenge). If the unread-count lozenge has a green right half with a +NUMBER in it, that NUMBER is the number of new messages since you last took any action on your inbox.

Now instead of worrying about unread messages and useless unread counts, you can always have an accurate count of what is NEW, which is much more helpful.

It's pretty simple.  Go ahead and install it in Google Chrome (it works with both Gmail and Google Apps accounts) and see how much better you feel about hitting "Inbox Virtual Zero".  Let me know what you think of this snazzy little extension.
