Hi Guys, Good afternoon from India :-) Here some discussions are going on (Reply to my invitations) .. including some flares & LOTS of offline requests for more URLs ;-)
Wish to throw some more light ... ----------------- > thanks sandeep, but guys did you know that > www.rediffmail.com also offers you a 1gb mail space > - and anyone can signup. 1) Thanks to Aditya for letting us know about the 1GB rediffmail A/c. I feel 1GB rediffmail A/c is more SECURED than 1GB GMAIL A/c (reason discussed later). 2) But GMAIL is different from hotmail / yahoo / rediff. GMAIL has its "Good & bad" pts (compared to Hotmail/yahoo): Good: a) The emails at inbox are arranged THREAD BASED (which can be expanded (some / all) or collapsed (one click - toggle). The headers / quoted texts can be hidden or shown (one click - toggle). And the best part is that the whole operation is EXTREMELY FAST (used Mozilla). b) Introduced the concept of LABELs to emails / threads. c) Excellent SEARCH facilities (with highlighted texts). d) time-stamp - both actual time & time between arrival & current time (may be aimed at non-techies). e) Excellent keyboard shortcuts (which covers almost all operations). BAD: I suspect they are parsing my emails .. word to word. The advertisements shown on the RIGHT-HAND side are based on keywords taken from my email body. I think this is made to ensure that the advertisements which are displayed are relevant to A/c OWNER's subject-of-choice. This would mean more clicks .. more money for them. Privacy issues? Try Rediffmail ;-) ---------------- Re: "nice try, but: The link you followed to create a Gmail account has already been used to create an account for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Now, its account creating powers are all gone. To create another Gmail account, you'll need a shiny new account creation link. We apologize for the inconvenience. - GTi" Sorry buddy .. u were slow. Not my fault ;-) U must have heard the words "Survival of the FITTEST". In this case .. the "fastest" was the "fittest". "mpostle" got it as he was FAST. May be GMAIL TEAM wants only those guys to be proud owner of the GMAIL A/c(s) who are FITTEST & FASTEST ;-) Ok ok .. just kidding :-) I feel GMAIL Team adopted this strategy to assure that the email A/c(s) are in the hand of the people who are genuinely interested in thoroughly TESTING the new GMAIL. After all that was the whole issue .. testing & feedback. So they created the hype & made the availability difficult. The new A/c(s) were created in such a way that they goes to people who are ONE "proud"(!!) WINNER in a RACE of millions :-))) -------- Finally, why I dropped the invitations at Full-disclosure -> Most of the members in this LIST are techies & some of them are genuinely interested in TESTING (& TASTING) something NEW .. like GMAIL. Who deserves an invitation better than them ... :-)) Regards, Sandeep. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
