Google is offering free e-mail...
1 GB of storage.

So, they can have more adword space that advertise keywords similar to the subject matter fo the e-mail.

tbabe · 03-31-2004, 10:08 PM

its an april fools joke

Screaming · 03-31-2004, 10:10 PM

i dont see what the big deal is it is the largest search engine around why not offer email and charge for extra storage, i mean you know hotmail is making the money from somewhere and advertisements and storage space have a large part of it

GonePhishing · 03-31-2004, 10:11 PM

I wonder if they are going to be up to anything funny today!

montel · 03-31-2004, 10:54 PM

i think they should stick to doing searches....

Diabolical Cord · 03-31-2004, 11:03 PM

Providing email doesn't hurt their searches any, does it?

insanesurfer · 03-31-2004, 11:03 PM

It actually looks like a decent service. 1000 megs of storage space? My Hotmail account that I use to avoid spam is always bouncing e-mails cause I'm out of space.

some people like to talk shit just to hear the sound of their own voice.....pathetic really...

goBigtime · 04-01-2004, 12:30 AM

Don't hotmail and the like give you 4 megs of storage?

Wow. Google is going to make (another) fortune off of this.

If it weren't for the concerns of privacy I would like their idea...

the idea of turning all your emails into conversations sounds cool... so you don't have to look in your out box all the time to see what you said last.

shogun3k · 04-01-2004, 12:35 AM

wtf, thats so pointless.

Stick to what you're good at!

Ash@phpFX · 04-01-2004, 01:34 AM

it was only a matter of time, their two biggest competitors offer it

Sappy · 04-01-2004, 03:31 AM

A gig of free email space? Jesus.
