Google readies free Hotmail competitor
Google is planning to roll out a free e-mail service. As if that alone weren't scary enough for MSN's Hotmail and Yahoo!, they will give away a free 1GB inbox, as opposed to the puny 2MB and 4MB users get from Hotmail and Y! Mail, respectively. Did someone just hear a big GONG? Maybe we can finally bid adieu to Hotmail and its suckiness.
Looks like the 'portal' wars are very much back in vogue. And Magnussen is hyping up next-generation digital entertainment. Wait a second....did I fall asleep and wake up in April 1999?
Why take my word for it?--check out Google email, or GMail, for yourself.
[UPDATE] You don't think this could be an April Fool's joke, do you?
