In search of a better name...

Google is launching webmail tomorrow (called gmail)

You get 1 GB of storage, and fast searching (of course). This should be interesting.

Do you really think it's an April Fool's thing? Doesn't seem funny enough...

dude, no-one is giving away 1gb of storage. Of course it's an April Fool!!!

But they did at least take the time to register the domain, which shows some attention to detail

It looks like it was *not* a April fool's thing. That's the danger of a press release on 4/1.

Google stores tons of stuff for their web and image searches. It seems reasonable to me that they could innovate in that area for mail.
