Gmail Expands From 1GB to 2GB

On the 1 year birthday of Gmail, Google's free web based e-mail service, they announced that they are expanding from their current 1GB of storage space up to 2GB! Very generous indeed and more than enough storage space for the average e-mail user.

Last year when Gmail was introduced on April 1st, many people thought it was Google's idea of a April Fool's Day joke, but it actually turned out to be a real product. Gmail is still in beta testing, but awhile back they expanded their "invite list" from 5 to 50. It only looks like Gmail is getting bigger and better. Other free web based e-mail services like Hotmail and Yahoo struggle to keep members and match the features that Gmail is offering. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top, but I would bet on Gmail to be the winner.
