30Gigs Web Mail Launches Into Beta
gaanagaa writes "Neowin reports, that a new web mail service launched today is promising to bring users an email inbox of 30gb." The original intent of 30gigs.com was apparently to create an "'All in one' site for the webmaster and avid computer users. According to the sites 'about us' page, combining personal file storage, GD2 signatures and anonymous email all in one service, which would be free." In their brief review of the service a Neowin user also offers a word of caution with regards to their extremely short terms of service and privacy policy, calling them "shady".
Can someone give me an invite? Oh, and maybe First Post.
According to their website, they provide you with a "malibox"!
It's a cocktail. Mixture of Malibu and Oxtail soup.
"I can't fill up my 2 gigs on Gmail, nor my gig on Y! mail, why in the world would I need 30 gigs?"
If you belong to a lot of yahoo and google groups, and the groups you belong to like to send a lot of attachments (porno) you can fill up 2 gigs in a couple of days.
Not that I know from experience or anything...
The privacy policy doesn't state that they won't demand my first born!! That proves they are up to something..
Hey folks!
I'm planning to unveil my ONE Terabyte Free webmail service by the next couple of weeks and all people on slashdot will receive invitations ASAP.
PS: Anybody got old HDD?! wish to get rid of em? Don't hesitate to contact me
I get more than a gig of email a day not even counting the couple gigs I get of pics, video, etc (pr0n) a day.
No wonder the internet is slow...
Sig?

That is girltalk!
The domain 700petabytes.com is still available!
From 30gigs.com: "Our main goal is to increase our space even further, to 50 gigs, or maybe 100 as time goes on."
Looks like they're going to keep changing their name to match the storage capacity. Foolish marketeers know nothing about encapsulation.
FTS.. We have been asked why we would do such a thing. The answer is simple to help people store large amounts of information in a safe and secure environment. Sure, yeah.. trust your data with a buncha bikers ;)
>I certainly wouldn't store my tax return on this server.
:o)
I dont think it's your tax return you need to worry about. Indeed quite the oppostite; It's the stuff that didn't go on the tax return

Ah, one of those again... luckily I've just set up my own dual RAID-5 mailserver for just my own mail, on 2.4TB disk.
Whaddayamean, compensating?
Hhhhmmmmmm. Malibox ...

For the record: 1 GB = 200 times more than 5 MB; 30 GB = 30 times more than 1 GB.

Pfft. They're just copying Yahoo.
So what? HTTP is a protocol meant to toss hypertext around, and look at all the people carelessly using it to upload files, do their e-mail, and even use so-called "web applications." For shame. I even hear that some people are transmitting XML by HTTP -- the horror!

I signed onto gmail about 6 months ago, about when they upped their quota to 2 GB. How fine!
Except since then, I've accumulated 172 MB of mail and the Gmail quota has gone up in steps to 2650 MB.
I am falling behind by nearly 100 MB a month. Help!
Fiat Lux.
