Webmail War
Well well well. Yahoo! Mail has increased space quota given to (free) accounts from 5 MB to 100 MB; following Gmail's offer of 1000 MB. The maximum size a mail can have has also jumped to 10 MB, the same with Gmail's.
So far Hotmail hasn't done anything and still persist with their 2 MB.
Oh and it seems there is adverstising on Gmail. Text only, however, and not too intrusive and annoying.
Now which would I pick? Oh what a choice, what a choice. Which one is it. Oooh I can't do this.
Bah. Yes I can. Easily.
Gmail wins by a long shot. Come on, 1000 MB is 1000 MB. Where can you get that generous offer. Even most webhosts don't offer that much. Not to mention the search engine and chat-like interface.
I've heard and read some concerns about privacy issues with Gmail. People are worried that since they wouldn't delete their mails for some time (1000 MB is a lot of room to store mails you know) Gmail (i.e. Google) can make profiles out of it.
Honestly people. If you're that paranoid with privacy and intrusion, you shouldn't connect to internet. Better yet, live in the jungle. You think that water account, electricity account, gas account, health card, green card, and so many others don't carry your personal information?
Heck, people write their diaries on the internet nowadays.
If you don't want others to know about your habit of visiting porn sites, then don't. Go to work. Feed the birds. Spend time with your family. Or some other productive activities.
