<\/a>\n<\/center>\nFirst up, I see Friendster<\/a> never recovered from its sickness of having an extremely<\/em> inefficient cache system.<\/p>\nNow I only use it to announce stuff (a marketing ploy hehehe) Don’t even mind screening any invites, I just accept and accept no matter who they are as marketing is marketing,<\/em> and we all could use strangers hehehe.<\/p>\nGMail<\/h1>\n
Once again, i’m in total gratitude of Nono<\/a>, for being a good friend once again. He sent me a GMail invitation<\/a>. I swear when I grow old, he’ll definitely be in the top of my “most respected people list”<\/em> GMail<\/a> in its current state<\/p>\n\nGMail<\/a>, or Google Mail, is a beta service of Google’s attempt<\/a> at the webmail scene. Going head to head with hotmail, yahoomail, etc. etc., it has the edge of incorporation it’s intuitive semantic system [which makes it the search engine of choice] into the application. Couple that with 1GB (yes, 1000MB) of account space, and you have an email system that can last you for years without having to delete anything.<\/p>\nAs an example, I’ve been archiving ALL my mail in Outlook, and it has been what? 3-5 years already, and my .PST file is still under a regular CD. So you can imagine how long GMail<\/a> will last you even if you don’t<\/strong> delete mails.<\/p>\nAnd of course since Google is a very known and powerful search engine, it surely has a comprehensive database of spam senders which I assume, is frequently updated.<\/p>\n
The best part is the engine itself: search, don’t file,<\/em> which makes pretty much sense when applied to emails. You dont have to group anything in folders, as GMail<\/a> has its own sorting facility integrated in the search engine which groups the topics by discussion, etc. etc. I haven’t really explored the features yet.<\/p>\nBetter check out a review on GMail here<\/a>. It’s got sample pics of the interface.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nBackend Modifications<\/h1>\n
