1 GB, whoa, sign me up! :) Will be interesting to give it a try when it's released. Wonder what countermeasure MSN and Yahoo will offer?
I wanna be one of the 1000 guests to try ithttps://discussions.virtualdr.com/im...2004/04/13.gif
I dont think MSN or Yahoo would challenge that.
I mean Yahoo charges for 100MB storage, and google is giving 1GB for Free, hmm lets think about it for a second:confused: :rolleyes: :D
You have to think about it? :D :p :DQuote:

Sounds like a possible new other email for me. I've given up on the other two.
I think this might become quite popular that MSN and Yahoo will have to join forces and become MSHoo:D Just so they can think they have a lot of users:)
I to wouldnt mind another webmail address to add to the collection:)
But I am wondering about this line:
To finance the service, Google will display advertising links tied to the topics discussed within the e-mails. For instance, an e-mail inquiring about an upcoming concert might include an ad from a ticket agency.
Now...just how are they going to accomplish that? Keyword searches of your email? I'm beginning to smell a rat....
So if you receive an email from a friend that is inviting you to a scientific seminar on "The Sexual Processes of the Orange Galapagos Jellyfish", you are likely to get ads on your email for Viagra or gourmet jelly beans?
Anyone know what date it is today?
dunno if either is true
Looks like it's the real deal and not an April Fool's joke. Here's what Google has to say about Gmail.
For bistro, here's a quote about the ads (Gmail is sort of losing it's appeal with that feature):
Quote:
Are there ads in Gmail?
There are no pop-ups or banner ads in Gmail. Gmail does include relevant text ads that are similar to the ads appearing on the right side of Google search results pages. The matching of ads to content is a completely automated process performed by computers using the same technology that powers the Google AdSense program. This technology already places targeted ads on thousands of sites across the web by quickly analyzing the content of pages and determining which ads are most relevant to them. No humans read your email to target the ads, and no email content or other personally identifiable information is ever provided to advertisers.
Thanks P3. I for one, am glad it's for real. I look forward to using this new gmail.
Wish I was a friend/guest also. :D
Looking forward to it to, but its a pitty about the Lunar Jobs:(:D
