Google Offers Hosted Emails
 

If you would like to offer hosted 2 gig email account to your members with all of the perks of gmail, go to http://www.google.com/a/ and signup. The accounts are instantly approved.

So, you get a cobranded gmail.. but, uhm, why?

Google is the devil.

Is this a good thing, or a bad thing? It's 2006, but I lost count. :stoned

Wow, this is going to be big

ya i got hosted gmail about a month back when they were beta testing. good idea if you are on the road and want a domain easy access

Google wanna dominate world.Soon they will eat microsoft.

I don't know if it is a good idea to hand over all your data to one big fucking company. They got your e-mail, your search, your calendar, your picture... all attached to one account. Talk about privacy

Problem is that, in most cases, their services are simply the best...

why the hell would I want to do that?
you are helping Google spam them.
I would set up my own email server then I could control what the surfers are sseing. then I could spam them with what I want.
Duh?

wasnt it google that refused a federal order to give up private info?

editted for spelling

Yes, thats true. But on the other hand they had to hand out Orkut data to brazilian prosecutors.

And they can store all your information forever in one big database and use it for marketing... just read their privacy policy.

There are many who believe that Google's gadgets to keep them in virtually every information stream of a surfer (email, satellite photos, search queries, local hard drive indexing) combined with Patriot Act II make for a great Kafka story.

yes and not only that,the court ordered them to comply with the 1st case as well.

its not up to them though,lets get realistic,if a company is ordered by the law to hand certain data they have no options left.
