yisman Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Is this an April Fool's joke? How can they do this? Doubled immediately for the many users? Daily increases? No one needs so much space anyway, unless you're using it as another hard drive or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PukiMan Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 It's stuck on 1085 on my account: You are currently using 7 MB (1%) of your 1085 MB. Will check in our hour if it's going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is pretty amazing how they are able to just give out 1GB, especially Yahoo! with millions of accounts. Now I'm from 1076 to 1085 and now to 1087!! Google is getting me excited now!

Koolslacker Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 If Google is doubling the space, I'll take it even though I use only 2% of 1 GB. Way to go Google. (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkMS Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Everyone go to the GMail home page! Quick! A Google approach to math. On the eve of Gmail's one-year birthday, our engineers were toiling away furiously. Notes scribbled all over the walls. Complex calculations on napkins and empty pizza boxes. Millions of M&Ms. The result?... starting today, we're beginning the roll-out of our new and top secret Infinity+1 storage plan. The key features are: * Write, don't worry. You want to stop caring about storage. We want to keep giving you more. Today, and beyond. * The gift that keeps on giving. 1096.644111 megabytes of storage (and counting) for every user. * No complicated equations. No tough algorithms. Just this one graph: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edi Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 LOL nice joke :) if they were really planning to give us 2GB, they would increase it directly to 2GB (first to a few users, then extend it gradually to all, like they do with every new feature). This is just a joke... not their style... to increase with a few MB to ALL of us in the same time. Anyway, i'm glad they added rich text editing :) now waiting HTML support ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rushnak Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I wish they'd take away the 10mb attachments, then this would actually come into use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
