I just popped over to www.gmail.com

to find that they are no longer offering 1Gb worth of email space :(

instead they are offering over 2Gb (2108M currently) of storage space, which if you watch the site is INCREASING every second.... :o

How why? When did this change take place, and OMG, impressive or what?

Check it out, and watch your storage space increase by the second. :D

not really

they are offering more storage than 99.9% of their members can possibly ever, or ever will use.

a poor analogy would be needing a 50ft ladder.

why would you get a 1000ft, or 50,000 ft one?

[Niraj]

I just find it impressive that they can offer THAT amount of space, for free.

Whether we use it or not, that is up to us.

As for the ladder, i wouldn't BUY a 1000ft ladder, but if given free, i would cut up into 20, 50ft ladders and give them to 19 friends!

Difference between FREE and at A PRICE, are what i find impressive.

Niraj, why do that, when you can just send them the extra Fifty you have :D

Or sell them on eBay

because they KNOW 99.9% of their customers will never use anything like that much space.

if you want to be impressed - look into their video hosting ;)

have a look at video.google.com

very USA centric, but allows you to search TV shows, and upload video.

not allowing webcasting that I am aware of.
