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.

    "http://gmail.com/

    well.. they do have a domain set up for it.."

    Interesting. The domain was registerred by Google back in 95. It was last updated today. And, it doesn't expire for 2 years. Maybe it's not a joke?

    I don't see why we always have to link to the NY Times. There are many others with the same story. (Google often links to NY Times articles too without requiring registration)

    I will sign up for 1000 accounts and get a free terabyte storage system.

    You'll be 24 accounts short.
