Gmail* opened its doors to the public on February 7, 2007.
Previously to this, it was available as an invitation-only beta that began on April 1, 2004.
I was one of those people fortunate enough to be invited to beta-test the product. I have no idea why, but I’m very glad they did.
Gmail is far, far and away the greatest email product on the market. It’s better than anything you have ever used. It’s better than Outlook. It’s better than your Blackberry. And it’s much, much better than Hotmail, Yahoo mail or any other equally-ghastly online mail platform.
Gmail is an online mail platform, i.e., browser-based webmail. But don’t assume that it’s anything like what came before it.
But somehow, it only has 10,000,000 users. Ten million. According to this website, there are 1.3 billion people on the Internet. That means only 0.7 per cent use Gmail.
I’ve told many of my friends about Gmail, and whilst some of them have signed up for accounts, when I get an email from them it’s still from their old Hotmail account, or something that came with their ISP.
I have to ask: why? What is wrong with you people?
