Google offers 1 GB e-mail package

It came across through various message boards yesterday, that Google would offer its users a free 1 GB e-mail box, but was also dismissed as an April Fools joke in many of the blogs and user groups reporting about it. Now Hoovers reports about it as well, and let's hope, they didn't fall for it. What still worries me about this is the huge offer of 1 GB - which makes it too big to be true!

We signed up at Google, to receive news about a possible launch date.

Learning: Never promote great new staff on April Fools Day - just kidding.

The objective is to enable users to never have another e-mail box, and that users would never be in the position to delete messages. As we do know Google, it will have great search capabilities, something that is sorely missing from any available package, be it Hotmail, Yahoo, Outlook or Lotus Notes.

Aside the mails will be ads from companies - robots will finetune the ads to the context of the message.

Does this make Google to look like Yahoo? We hope not!
