Yahoo! To Give 1gb Email!

Recommended Posts

Good news for Yahoo users..Yahoo is planning to upgrade all free email accounts to 1gb at early May.Gmail is already one step ahead... starting from their first birthday a few weeks ago, gmail has started to slowly increase the storage space using some mathematical equations. when this message was posted it had reached 2091 MB.. i guess around 2 GB!

Yahoo and Google, a competition that has been going on since Google began expanding and invading the net!

 

Yahoo obviously feels threatened that you can now get a 2.098 gb account by going and getting a Google account, and that will drive away a lot of buisness since now you don't need an invite to get the accounts anymore! ( Note, the invites still exist at large numbers from 6-200 invites ) Think about it. Word spreads fast and soon the modern day, social people will get to know about Gmail and will rush to get an account after all of the "Its so quick and safe", and "2 GB big, YOU WONT EVER run out of message space" and the famous "Gmail as a Hard Drive!"

 

So you see, it's another chapter in the industry battle field. Yahoo is basically giving the people more so that their ammount of users per day dont go down and transfer over to Gmail. ( I would prefer gmail until something bigger comes along, which wont happen any time soon )

I don't really care all that much for the extra space. It's nice and all that Google has decided to keep adding on like that, but there's no way in heck I'm going to have 1gb of emails in my account at once, let alone the 2097 that's available at the moment. And I don't care too much for the "gmail hard drive" either, because I already have two 20gb HD's in my compy, and regardless of the 5 or so gigs I download a day in torrents, I'm still doing fine.

*cough* Please refraim from mentioning the Bit Torrent methods which are usually used for ILLEGAL activity.Well when I think about it, most people don't need any more then 500mb! But then again, if you had a choice, would you pick:A. Gmail, Google Beta Email, 2.098 GBORB. MSN Hotmail, 250MbWell?

Anyway...this is a good move. As the battle goes on..the space will keep increasing. I think both giants are good in different ways. I still feel google should give webhosting.....-Shackman

I second that. They would probably do their little invite dealio and it would probably be like half a year before I could get my hands on one though... still, though. And they would probably go out of control with like a gigabyte of storage... Google is just too good.

 

 

Yahoo! you are too late. Sorry.

These are the only words I would like to write here.

My exact thoughts when I first read this topic. Even after Yahoo's upgrade, they're STILL being doubled by Google's Gmail. And Gmail is counting up as we speak. 2099.5MB as of this moment. I also like Gmail's features much more than Yahoo's. There are no flash or image ads in Gmail, only Google's ultra-relevent AdSense ads, so they acually match the email you're getting. Archiving, searching, pop3 and smtp, etc.

 

P.S. Walla already had 1GB for as long as I've known about them now, and I've heard there are a few others.

It's to the point now where all of the major email places are giving you enough space to never run out of room. It's down to which service is the best. I'd pick gmail even if it only had 25mb of space.

Cool, what about paid ISP ones, I pay for it and all I get is 100 MB, that doesn't seem fair, I'm gonna complain, or switch to Comcast or something...
