What is new?

Well I have to say I am impressed, it redefines the webmail experience completely. I have only been using it for a couple of days and I am already moving the mailing lists over. Why have a mail client on your local PC, this one is available all over the world without the need to carry your PC around?
It is still beta but I can see great potential. The whole design is brilliant, it isn't simply a clone of another web-based mailing system, it is clever, it figures out things like addresses on the fly, hides long quoted emails and automatically put a conversation on email below each other so that it reads like a story. I am suddenly wishing I had google shares.

They are going to be worth millions in the future. Writing this on another one of their services... Blogger.

Knowledge is power and they have lots of it.
Just think about it, they will control people's searches(what people get to discover), blogs (thoughts), mails (interaction). Next is a messenger or browser? They can shape your world and your perception (assuming of course that you do not interact with other people by talking to them).

Cospiracy theory!!!

;)

Jokes aside. Knowledge is power and power can be a dangerous thing.
For now let me just embrace the 2005, it is only a couple of hours away!
