GooglemailEmail This EntryPrint This Entry
Posted by Stowe Boyd

[Update: 29 September 2004 -- Do to the overwhelming number of comments added to this story I am adding a few notes:

  • GoogleMail is still strictly available by invitation only
  • I have no connection with Google, and cannot provide accounts, so don't post a comment asking me do sign you up
  • Those interested in more information about Googlemail should look at Google, here.
]


I saw in a CNN.com article that Google is planning to roll out its own email service, to compete with Microsoft, Yahoo, and others.

"Google already knows how to deliver its sponsored link ads -- which are in the form of Web links and appear on the perimeter of Web pages -- to e-mail newsletters and content sites.

Furthermore, Google last year purchased an e-mail management software maker and in 2001 registered the domain name googlemail.com."

Apparently, they may differentiate themeselves based on better spam protection.

I bet they will launch their own instant messaging solution, too. Its the second most used Internet app, and in some demographics (teenagers) its number one.
