Gmail anyone?

[J-ROC]

I can't "Send" with my gmail.  That makes me angry.

Won't G-Mail have targetted ads?

[Oldbushie]

I heard about that too...

As useful as 1 gig of storage might be, if there's going to be that absurd ad thing then no thanks. Yahoo has a dang good spam filter now and 100 megs of space as well, not bad.

...that ad thing might especially be awkward if someone is emailing about breast cancer and a porno ad shows up.

You should be!  My gmail allows for me to send...

Spam and ads are why I left yahoo, actually. My bulk mail was getting ridiculous, and it was annoying. I don't even *see* what goes into my spam folder, or if anything's in there, unless I choose to go into it no gmail.

Gmail has some ads on the sides of its screen, but they're text-only - no annoying banners or flashy pictures. I actually had to go look at where the ads were to know, I didn't even remember! They're that subtle; and yes, they are targetted but in theory it's targeted at things you like from keywords in your mail or headers... or maybe it was stuff you click on when signing up, I forget. Either way, the ads are off on the side of the window and barely ntoiceable, like I said.

Personally, I like it much better!

Well, I think it's got something to do with this computer and such.  But my send button just doesn't work.

The text ads at Google are way less intrusive than Hotmail's or Yahoo's.  I would take Google's text ads over banners & pop-ups any day.

You are not concerned over your privacy, Neil?

[Drunken Chinchilla]

Lol whats teh worst that can happen? Some company knows that Neil sends alot of emails titled OMGWTF?

[Oldbushie]

Well, if it's just text ads then I'll definitely accept that invite. My bulk mail in yahoo was getting a little high, after all.

I actually don't use my gmail account for regular e-mails.  I do get the occasional real e-mails there, but I use that account usually for forum notifications, job sites and other stuff that I don't want to use my ISP e-mail for.  

Also, your privacy could be invaded at any time, unless you own your own e-mail server.  

[Oldbushie]

I got my gmail from Yonkey, looks pretty nice so far.

[koko_99_2001]

Dew: Yonkey's right... technically any e-mail you receive or send can be read by the sysadmin of your mail server. So if you need your e-mail to be private, you either need to encrypt it, send it from a server where you're your own admin, or better yet, don't use e-mail.

Peace & Luv, Liz
