----------------------------------- Dan Thu Apr 01, 2004 10:13 pm Will you get a GMail acount over a hotmail one? ----------------------------------- google is going to have free e-mail soon with a hole gb of space! will you sing up? is it worth ditcing your hotmail for this? and how do u feal about google reading your e-mail to use with adds? ----------------------------------- jonos Thu Apr 01, 2004 10:16 pm ----------------------------------- hell yeah i will, id rather have google adds than ms adds (even if their way reads my email) because ms probably uses subliminal messaging to braind wash people to use the msn tv shite and other stuff. and use the zone instead of gamespy, and whatnot. gotta love google, especially if it has really fast load times, hotmail takes a little too long sometimes. ----------------------------------- zylum Thu Apr 01, 2004 11:50 pm ----------------------------------- are you sure they give you a full GB of space??? that's crazy :shock: ----------------------------------- da_foz Fri Apr 02, 2004 12:00 am ----------------------------------- Wow, you guys jumped on that one pretty fast. Did you not also see the date at the top of the press release...? Google really likes to anounce crazy stuff on April 1st. ----------------------------------- zylum Fri Apr 02, 2004 12:18 am ----------------------------------- lmao, i guess i fell for that one :oops: ----------------------------------- jonos Fri Apr 02, 2004 6:56 am ----------------------------------- no guys, i think its real, the site is still up. ----------------------------------- Catalyst Fri Apr 02, 2004 7:06 am ----------------------------------- it is real http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/business/technology/8337390.htm ----------------------------------- Paul Sat Apr 03, 2004 1:31 pm ----------------------------------- woot! woot! I'd get one, but not over hotmail, I think this will pull many potential/current users away from other free emails, even hotmail, but not as much, cause theres still msn :P I'd keep my hotmail account AND get that one. ----------------------------------- Raugrist Sat Apr 03, 2004 1:39 pm ----------------------------------- woot! woot! I'd get one, but not over hotmail, I think this will pull many potential/current users away from other free emails, even hotmail, but not as much, cause theres still msn :P I'd keep my hotmail account AND get that one. I'm pretty sure you can use MSN Messenger without using a hotmail account if you get a 'passport'. I'd definitely get one, does anybody know when they'll be available? ----------------------------------- Tony Sat Apr 03, 2004 1:55 pm ----------------------------------- yes, you can defenatly use MSN Messanger with your 'passport' account. Dan and Darkness use their @compsci's for MSN ----------------------------------- Dan Sat Apr 03, 2004 2:55 pm ----------------------------------- used to, sigh..... ----------------------------------- Josh_VK Sat May 15, 2004 2:37 pm ----------------------------------- not that i like hotmail either but id rather google stay outa my info... lol ----------------------------------- Amailer Sat May 15, 2004 2:44 pm ----------------------------------- You know, people don't read your emails... they are just scanned for words by some script that's all.. what's the big deal? ----------------------------------- Josh_VK Sat May 15, 2004 2:45 pm ----------------------------------- Yeah true.. and it is a free gig of space. i geuss its worth it ----------------------------------- MyPistolsIn3D Mon May 24, 2004 7:15 pm ----------------------------------- Sure, ill prob get one, maybe only use it for big attachments and stuff though, a gB of space would be sweetness. ----------------------------------- Amailer Wed Aug 04, 2004 9:21 am ----------------------------------- http://www.gfx-pro.ath.cx/index.php?module=gallery&gallery=1&image=2GB.jpg&type=normal 2GB :? ----------------------------------- Paul Wed Aug 04, 2004 11:22 am ----------------------------------- god damn it, I would say "no" now cause you can only send files up to the size of 10 megs... ----------------------------------- rizzix Wed Aug 04, 2004 4:46 pm ----------------------------------- eh? its standardized... no email service provider will ever let u go beyond that limit.. unless they all agree to some new standard. ----------------------------------- zomg Mon Nov 15, 2004 12:15 pm ----------------------------------- i dont kno... i think id still use my hotmail because all my contatcs are on that one and everyone knows who i am but gmail has all that space so i'd probably use that one for web space or something rather than email. and any way i got a rogers account (i never use) that has 2gb of space i got it with rogers high speed(lol and i still have 9 more free 2gb accounts with rogers) ----------------------------------- cool dude Fri Feb 11, 2005 8:21 pm ----------------------------------- i actually find gmail to be a lot better than hotmail because of the spam filters. i have gmail for a while now and i had never been sent spam! :) i still have my hotmail account but i rarely use it although i do use it for msn. i could easily make my gmail account my msn but i don't really wanna do that. P.S. if any one needs gmail invites PM me because i have 50 invites! ----------------------------------- [Gandalf] Sat Feb 12, 2005 8:23 pm ----------------------------------- 2gb is probably paid for... I am using both - I don't know how I'll switch from one to the other... Will we be able to keep our beta gmail accounts when it goes public? I assume so, since otherwise would be stupid. ----------------------------------- ssr Sun Feb 13, 2005 6:33 pm ----------------------------------- Woot Gmail vs the good old hotmail Ill stop using hotmail when google release a Google Messenger or something.
