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!"

    gmail has more EMAIL storage than the entire hard drive on my email & web server.

    I remember back when the first 1GB drives appeared, and I thought it crazy to get one, needing that much space then sounded insane

    Now you can't GET 1GB drives any more

    (old fogey reminiscing, don't mind me)

    Friends of people who work for Google had first crack about two weeks ago. Just in case anybody wants to be jealous.

  5. Using GMail for distro by Mitchua · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Can anyone explain to me why people are not going to use GMail to distribute 1GB warez or media files? Just email a 1GB attachment to a list of GMail users and you'll get to use Google's excellent connection to distribute whatever you want. How can they crack down on it without jepardizing the key feature of GMail: massive storage. If there was a 600MB transfer limit or something, how would I get my 1GB of mail on there in the first place?
