Gmail plans to double storage

April 1st, 2005 § § permalink

As bender’s evil twin half brother pointed out in a mail this morning, Gmail plans to react to Yahoo’s plans to increase stoarge with 2G. I really don’t see that necessary because Gmail power point is the free POP3 access that makes those 2G useless for power users. The rest of the users will never fill up 1G soon.

Instead of increasing the storage, it would have been better for Gmail to increase the attachaments size.

Anyway great job at with rich formmating for messages. It works perfect on ;)

Almost forgot here is the article from CNET

Edit: just checked Gmail…it says You are currently using 199 MB (18%) of your 1118 MB. Various users report various quota. I think it depends on how much space you are using and it will be a step by step upgrade

Edit 2: it’s increasing constantly …now it’s 1158 :)

Indexability of Yahoo 360

March 31st, 2005 § § permalink

Even though Yahoo 3600 is not suposed to be just another another blogging service, they have this component. And a bloogging component is attractive if it is indexable. I am going to track weekly how it scores on the 3 major major* players on this aspect. 24 hours after official beta launch we have:

Google: 6 pages
Yahoo: 13 pages
MSN: 23 pages (HEY! That is a surprise. I was expecting 5 pages or less and I was already thinking what evil things to say about MSN….that’s weird….very weird)

Let’s see after a week. Anyone feeling an urge for betting?

*Yes THREE major players. Just because Ask Jeeves comes 4th doesn’t make him a player. Nothing personal guys

Google Personals

March 28th, 2005 § § permalink




What? They got into that area too???
Heh, relax…not yet…BUT use this on Google:

site:profiles.yahoo.com keyword keyword

What could you use instead of keywords. Well a few hints:

- location
- gender
- marital status
- interests

You may wonder why not doing that on Yahoo! Search. They support the site: command. The answer is plain stupid and simple

site:profiles.yahoo.com on Google brings up 631,000 results
site:profiles.yahoo.com on Yahoo brings up…175 results. And they own that service !!!!!
even MSN Search scores “better” with 17,941
