Gmail – the hottest commodity on the internet.
It would seem there is a black market for the new internet web based email prototype called Gmail developed by the extremely successful google search engine corporation. Gmail boasts numberous power utilities and a whopping big 1gb of storage space which according to Google is about 10 years of average email.
Google have been inviting people to join and test Gmail over the past couple of months and some people have because of the perceived interest in Gmail have offered to swap their invitation for goods and services or have attempted to sell it on ebay fetching nearly 140 dollars Australian.
From what I have seen of Gmail (no I don’t have one but my boss has and he keep rubbing it in!) it has pretty good spam filtering with built in heuristics and user reporting. However, just because the spam filtering is good does not means its free from ads as Gmail will be supported by clickable linked ads like the google search engine uses.
All in all it seems like a good product. Go Google! Go Gmail!
