Cobra Posted April 22, 2005 CID Share Posted April 22, 2005 check out this screenshot of my spam folder. note that the picture next to the ad is simply because i have the BetterSearch extension. without BetterSearch: however, i read a message from a google rep in a different forum saying that most of the time stuff like this is just an experiment and will be taken off quickly, simply to gauge user reaction. EDIT: lmao, look at this ad in google. it promotes yahoo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

netmasta Posted April 22, 2005 CID Share Posted April 22, 2005 Word has it Yahoo is going to 1Gb [or more] some day real soon. No need for geemail in my book. . . Yes they are. The official amount is 1Gb, although I wouldn't be supprised if they upped it because og Gmail. They said you should expect the increase sometime in May. It seems kind of amazing IMO. Just around 2 years ago all you could get for free was between 2Mb-6Mb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest philp Posted April 22, 2005 CID Share Posted April 22, 2005 I don't have any problems with my Gmail account. And 2.1 GB (and counting) of storage sure is nice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Posted April 23, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 23, 2005 Word has it Yahoo is going to 1GB [or more] some day real soon. No need for geemail in my book. . . space isnt the only reason why gmail is better than yahoo mail. yahoos other services included with mail like integrated news and weather and such are cool, but when it gets down to it, gmails got more features and is easier to use.

Cobra Posted April 23, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 23, 2005 idk, i think theyre like AdSense, only different. i read an article saying that google was going to start changing the way AdWords and stuff, but i didnt think that meant something like adding ads like this. i guess these are sorta okay, though, since they take up less space than the former ads did. they are more invasive though, since theyre right in the center of the screen. and i posted screenshots of them, so u should be able to get a fair idea of how they look.

Cobra Posted April 23, 2005 Author CID Share Posted April 23, 2005 nvm, theyre not ads, theyre just a new feature of gmail. a really cool one btw. Clips appear at the top of your Inbox. In addition to Google Sponsored Links and Gmail tips, you can display clips from blogs, news sites, and other online sources by adding from the link below. Learn more the 'ads' i was seeing were just the couple of default ones they have i guess just to make sure u notice the new feature or something. this looks awesome!
