Email Wars

The war is on. Yahoo Vs Google. Where is Hotmail, btw ? Who Bothers, anyway.

Yahoo unleashes it’s 100MB email space for every unpaid account trying to match the google’s powerful and relatively slow 1GB account. Paid Subscribers of Yahoo get 2GB. Mind Blowing.

Throw your PCs. The network becomes the PC.

  6. i dont understand, why is gmail “relatively slow” in your view..

    iam a gmail user, and find it terrific in terms of page load and refresh.

    its more like an application on your hard disk,
    and retrieval speed is too good.

    may be im missing a point which you think makes it slow.. it would be nice if you mention that attribute (where is it slow)

  7. Yahoo ups the space, corporatizes design

    Inspite of my gratitude for the extra 75 MB(160 times the size of my first hard disk).I don’t like Yahoo Mail’s new corporate appearance. The previous design may have lacked maturity, but it had character. Much of the appeal of…
