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

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Wednesday March 31, 2004 @01:23PM 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.

This is just idiotic. The point that the parent is missing is that Google doesn't care about bandwidth/space.

They've FIVE THOUSAND servers. They're the most searched site in the world. Like bandwidth or storage could ever be a problem with them.

Get a clue. Thanks.
