About GMail

Google goes email. The service (announced today) is still in Beta but has some cool features like 1 GB of disk space per user. That's really something. There's also no need to delete any emails you may receive as the Google search capabilities apply to the email system and so finding that old email will be a snap. Other people are sceptical thinking this is some kind of joke. But I don't think so. It makes absolute sense for Google to go into this are and is a natural extension to stuff like Orkut. And hey, I've been to Google and know there are things inside the company that not even Ovidiu can talk about! And serious news publications like Computerwoche wouldn't fall for an April Fools like that would they?
