Whee!! I got a gmail invite from Ray, a member of the Orkut Filipino community I formed. The invite has been there since April 19 and I didn’t realize I had it till today. Bah. Anyway, I wanted lauren@gmail.com but it was taken. I got lauryn@REMOVETHISgmail.com. The beta testing is by invitation only.
If you haven’t already heard about Gmail, it’s a new search-based webmail service that offers:
- 1,000 megabytes (one gigabyte) of free storage
- Built-in Google search that instantly finds any message you want
- Automatic arrangement of messages and related replies into
“conversations”
- Text ads and related pages that are relevant to the content of your
messages
“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!”
I think this will be useful for those attachments. We’ll see.
