Google's Gmail Goes Into Beta for Blogger Users

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-gig-will-cover-ya-for-awhile dept.

deadpixel writes "Gmail, the 1gb webmail service offered by Google, has gone into beta. Blogger (owned by google) users have first crack at the service. Besides the massive storage, the free service boasts a sophisticated spam filter, no pop-ups/banners, and gives you search results relevant to the emails you receive automatically. Bring on those attachments!"

      Google's just trying to help. I mean, how else are you going to know when new porn sites open

      but what if you actually want this type of email? Can you customize the filter to fit your own idea of spam?

      No, they're going to show you penis enlargement and nude cheerleader search links every time you receive your mailing list subscriptions.

    >Would you like to give it a whirl? YES / NO

    I hit NO.
    Then it said the invitation would remain there for couple of days should I change my mind.

    In other words, either Yes or No won't make it go away for couple of days.

    then two years later, once everyone is hooked on free @mac.com email addresses, they turn around and say they're going to charge $99 dollars per year.

    It was like "beep beep beep" and all my emails disappeared.

    They were good emails too ...

    Okay, tell you what, I'll use my Gmail account to send my entire pr0n directory to you with the title "Free Pr0n!!!! Free Cia1i$".

    Your entire pr0n directory fits in a gig? I'm ashamed to be on Slashdot :).
