Can you believe GMail is 5.59 years old? Google AdWords (Select), by contrast, is only a bit older at 7.76 years old.
I'm sitting here looking at one email thread in GMail that has 41 messages in it over the past 15 days. Like a mini-Basecamp masquerading as an ordinary inbox.
GMail has its quirks, but I don't let them derail me. As I am highly dependent on the power of GMail.
Conversations I have with "ordinary email users" often result in them saying "I can't find..." or "can you re-send..."? I honestly don't know how people cope when they can't refer back to a message or attachment in a matter of seconds.
Where would I be with that project with the 41 messages right now, if I were using old-fashioned email methodology?
Lost.
I now see it as a foregone conclusion that GMail market share will overtake the #2 and #1 players, Hotmail and Yahoo Mail, eventually. Main reason: the others aren't very good. They release new features and more storage - but they're not as fast, not as cool.
Some people hate the threading thing, and don't like to change their routine, but that is offset by the ongoing flood of new users.Labels: gmail
