MSN tries to compete
I just got an email from the MSN staff that informed me that my storage has been increased to 250 MB for my Hotmail account. Though I appreciate the effort, all I have to say is "whoop-dee-doo." This doesn’t even come close to comparing with the 1 GB of free storage offered to me by Google’s Gmail.
Obviously, Microsoft knows enough to be threatened by Gmail’s offerings; in fact, there are even rumors going around that Hotmail is blocking Gmail invites! But I think that’s just a rumor. However, with the paid MSN service (at only $19.95 per year), you get 2 GB of storage, so that’s something. Yahoo, too, has increased their storage offerings to 2 GB for their paid users and to 100 MB for the freebies.
What I was thinking about is this…Gmail is currently offering a gig of storage for their free users, and this is while they are still in beta! If Gmail went public, and began to offer a paid service, how many gigs would we get then? Hmmm…

Gmail has been a pain in my butt lately. Sometimes it won’t let me in at all. Sometimes I write these long responses to emails and then they won’t send them. Have you had trouble, too?
Hi Sarah, I’m lloydinjacksonville. I just wanted to say I really like your banner. Did you design it? Is yes, how much would you charge to design one for me?
