Google's Gmail To Offer 1GB E-mail Storage?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the the-g-man-cometh dept.

tstoneman writes "Wow, according to the New York Times (free reg. req.), looks like Google is really trying to push the envelope by offering 1 GB free storage for e-mail users via a service called Gmail, still in the testing phase, so that users never need to change their e-mail address. In addition, they want to offer their searching capabilities so that users can search through their entire set of e-mail, I guess forever. CNET News also has more details." Update: 04/01 02:38 GMT by S : The Google site now has an official press release, naturally dated April 1st.

    You're an American. You don't understand the meaning of the word "sarcastic". Deal with it.

    Given the newspaper's turnished reputation of late, they should refrain from publishing any story that even seems suspect.
