Forbes Reviews Google's Gmail [updated]

Posted by timothy on Monday April 12, 2004 @10:41AM from the capitalist-tool dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Forbes.com has what looks to be the first hands-on review of Google's forthcoming Gmail service. Aside from the 1-gigabyte storage, the searching features sound pretty useful for what the writer calls 'email packrats' which I think fits me pretty well. But I can't say I agree with the writer's opinion that privacy fears, as discussed this Slashdot thread, about the Gmail service are 'overblown.' Still and all, I'm curious to try it myself and see what I think." Update: 04/13 00:55 GMT by T : notEA writes "A California state senator is drafting legislation to block Google from releasing Gmail. Seems kind of silly, since all anti-spam filters read your messages anyway."

I wonder, though, if they'll actually be able to offer 1GB per account for very long. And I also somewhat wonder if this won't become a filesharing tool as well? Just e-mail your movies or whole MP3 library to anyone who asks for it?
