Finally my wait is over!!!!

Ok, it's happened everyone!! I was fortunate enough to recieve an intivation to start a GMail account while it's still in Beta. As most of you well know, Google wanted to compete w/the likes of Yahoo, MSN when it came to providing a stable email account. Both Yahoo and MSN increased their storage capacity from 4MB storage to a whopping 250MB (ohhhhhhhhh) when they found out that GMail would be offering up to 1GB of storage space for each account. Anyway, I received my invite to test out the service earlier today......about friggin time. I only submitted my name last year, oh well, better late than never I suppose. There's lots of great features to have w/the GMail service. I'll keep you all up to speed as we approach the final release date.


A Google approach to email.

Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want. The key features are:

*Search, don't sort.
Use Google search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received.

*Don't throw anything away.
1000 megabytes of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.

*Keep it all in context.
Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.

*No pop-up ads. No untargeted banners.
You see only relevant text ads and links to related web pages of interest
