Via Slashdot: Some dude created a filesystem on top of GMail. Okay, so we knew something like that was going to happen, and I admit it's kinda cool...
But for the love of god, why?
If you're going to do something like that, make a FS on top of IMAP. IMAP is a lot more powerful (i.e. you can store meta-data, use folders, upload data) and efficient (FETCH BODYSTRUCTURE anyone?) than screenscraping GMail JavaScript code will ever be.
