What is the advantage of gmail? is it anonymous?

1. You've got a huge amount of storage for your email: almost 3 GB


2. You can use Google Docs and Spreadseets (web based word editor and excel spreadsheets )


3. You can create your own web site with localized downloads ( 100 MB ) and tons of features.


4. You can use Google Reader ( web based rss, xml, atom.. reader ); it's better than most desktop applications ( keyboard shortcuts ... and lots of features )


5. You can use their calendar.....


6. A lot of other things (all free)


7. You don't need to switch right away; create your account see how it works; and switch when you feel comfortable (like me)

Great spam control...but you need a cell phone with text messaging to set up an account.
Reply:no - it's just another type of free email, like hotmail or lycos etc
Reply:spam control, no graphical ads, so fast and 2 gb space
Reply:Gmail is good because for a web-based website, it offers 2 gigabites of storage, and increases each day. For comparison purposes, Hotmail, when it came out, offered 2K of storage, so if anyone sent you a picture, you were in trouble.





I'm not sure what you mean by anonymous. From what I have seen, it shows your name just like anyone else.
