The fun begins with Google. When your email conversation going the wrong way there’s Gmail Mic Drop. Have the last word on any email, just click the Mic drop button and you’ll never see the conversation again.
Update – This feature has been pulled by Google due to a bug. “Well, it looks like we pranked ourselves this year – Due to a bug, the Mic Drop feature inadvertently caused more headaches than laughs. We’re truly sorry. The feature has been turned off. If you are still seeing it, please reload your Gmail page” said on, Google blog.
