Walla Me !

The size wars are on.  Everybody is coming up with gigantic email boxes now. Today found out about another free email service that gives 1 GB mail storage.

Seems like GMail is not the only one to throw away gigabytes of disk space around now.

Check out Walla !

No popus, no banners and no text ads either.  But why bother, I already have too many email addresses...

GMail Beta Testing

After being a GMail user for more than 3 weeks now, I have still not received any GMail invitations to give away. When all my other friends, some who have even registered AFTER me, have got this privilege, I still am not fortunate enough to see this magic link in my mailbox :-(

However, I have a "Report Bug" link in my GMail that most of my other friends don't have.



So I guess I am awarded with a "Beta Tester" title, and yes, I have already submitted several bug reports and feature requests, for which the GMail team has promptly replied -- with automated responses! :-)

We regret that the volume of incoming inquiries we have received has prompted this general reply. Although we cannot respond to every report, we read each individual message, and thank you for taking the time to send us your feedback and suggestions. All bug reports are forwarded to our engineers for further investigation.
