word!

So I’ve been invited into a secret inner gathering where everyone knows my name. Well not really, I’ve been keeping my membership under wraps, due to an accute paranoia over spammers.

But that may all change with the release of Gmail by Google. I’m almost giddy with the prospects of Google giving the email market a good shakeup as now Yahoo! and Hotmail have shrunk down their services to a few megs, when Gmail’s is 1 Gig. As things stand it’s only in Beta, so better things are to come.

The worries over privacy? All they do is show ads about things relative to your ‘conversations’. I’d rather see ads about things I’m interested in, than an ad for AOL’s awesome dial-up service.

And to think that google is such a popular word. I remember reading some odd fact/word book once and finding the word googel fascinating. Too bad I didn’t have the where with all to trademark the unique word back then; I could have been richer than the founder of IKEA(no not Bill Gates). Sadly I wasn’t even remotely interested in the internet or on the ball back then.
