A Better E-Mail Universe

I guess that Google is going to open it's new e-mail service to the public pretty soon. Yahoo has finally given us a lot more memory for our e-mail. Nice. Monk was stressing a little over the need to delete some of his saved and treasured messages. Now it's no longer a problem. I guess that this is what the capitalists mean by the value of competition!

Send me an email to mm at cellspacedotorg and i will invite you (I can invite you) to join Google Mail or gmail. A friend who works there got me one... I'm still getting used to the interface.

Thanks, Sweets! I really appreciate the offer. But, as you may have noticed, I'm pretty nervous about trying new things, including cyber-things. Though, I probably would've jumped on your offer last week. Now that Yahoo has expanded storage, I feel less need to make a move and try something that is still experimental.

If you are having trouble working the interface, as familiar with the computer world as you are, I hate to think how I would be. I'm interested in opening another e-mail account elsewhere, so that I might give g-mail a whirl when they open it up to the public, maybe.

But thanks for the invite! I'm probably dumb for not taking you up on it. A nervous fellow am I...

One of the MAJOR drawbacks to Gmail is that they have a special tool that scans your email. It's supposed to search your mail to help you filter it (well this is what Google's technology is built on... filtering/scanning/searching/data mining functions right?)

but anyway, what happens is Google has the ability to scan all your email so there's Right to Privacy issue here and potential telemarketing/marketing/spam nightmare in the making.

but you know, i'm in a sort of love-hate relationship conflict with effective internet marketing techniques. i love it. and i hate it.

True words. 100MB of free space at Yahoo is great! More than I currently need.

It was such a joy to click onto this new world this morning. However, a drawback has been that Yahoo seemed to need to work out some bugs. It has been running a little like Blurty - slow or death on opening a page. But it has been fair tonight.
