Google's plans

Its been a year - April 1, 2004 - that Google planted a little seed for further growth - it launched its e-mail service that only recently opened up to the public - before that, new users could get access only via invitation. And at that time, it launched it with a big bang - 1GB, and everybody stood in awe. This must be an April Fools Joke, was on many people's mind.

Today, just a few days after Yahoo finally caught up and notched up their own storage space to 1GB, Google hit it again.

They announced that they would increase the storage space to 2GB.

But there is another trick behind. After users reach their 2GB limit, Google will add a yet-to-be-determined amount of extra storage daily, with no plans to stop. This sure will create a buzz. It surely is better than just open up the space in total, at once. It will be fun for userss to see their usage space grow. It is a customised service for heavy users. Google clearly realises that many users use their service not only for e-mail, but that the storage is used to save pictures, big attachments and all.

Well, keep on rocking, Google! I think your user love it!
