Choosing a Web Email Service
// February 10th, 2007 // General
Despite the fact that I’m a self-proclaimed Geek and I do it for a living, I don’t usually write much here about computing and technology. It’s just not what this blog is for. However, occasionally I like to bring in something that may be of use to The SoapBox readers.
Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch has done a nice comparison of the 3 major web mail services out there: Live Hotmail, Gmail, and Yahoo Mail. If you are still using MS Outlook or a similar email client to fetch your email, you really should look into switching to a service like one of these. If you already use webmail, take a look and see if you are getting the best that the web has to offer.
I personally use Gmail, and I LOVE it. Currently, you can only get Gmail by invitation (though there is word from Google that soon it will be opened up). I have several Gmail invites I can send out if you need one. Let me know in the Comments, and I’ll email it to you. First come, first serve.

Thank you very much for posting Webmail comparison.
Yes, I would appreciate a Gmail invitation.

Thank you for Gmail invitation offer
edavis
Thanks for the Gmail offer, I would like to have access to this product.
edavis, I sent you an invite but the email came back “undeliverable”. Post here with a different email and I’ll try again.
ISP has changed hands, and we are experiencing email delivery problems, so I very much appreciate the Gmail invite.
But this address should work.
Am glad I found your website, by the way.
Thanks Again
I resent it and looks like it went through.
Welcome to the site too… :-)
