gig of space and you 'pay' for it by targeted ads. The ads are the fun part as
they are based on the text of the email. That means if you get porn in your
email, you're going to get porn ads. The possibilities are endless. :)
Actually, I think it's a great thing. Google would have to have redundant
systems so your mail is basically safe forever. A few ads are going to be ones
you'd probably want anyway so I can live with it. It'll also be a major boon to
both web advertising and Google's bottom line. When they go public, it can be
the 90's again!
I wonder if they need someone working for them to get open mailing lists like
Yahoo and Topica. Oh, what I could do for them. Anyone got a contact?

with a large inbox capacity and the ability to send large attachments.

it isn't open for business yet. Anyway, apparently they will make money by
targeting the ads that appear around the inbox to the content of the email. I
think I think it's a good idea, even though it means that they will be analyzing
the content of my emails. Anyone else have an opinion on this?
