Gmail invites

I use Google on a daily basis. In fact, I reply on it to do my job at times.

However, what it the big deal with Gmail?

My Yahoo! account

is free

has 250 MB of storage

is fast and friendly

removes 99.99% of spam (I get next to no spam whatsoever - like 1 message a month)

has hosted my account for God knows how long

Why are people jumping ship?

Ohh... they're the Hotmail users. Sorry, my bad.

I don't see any good point here. Gmail beats it all . How can you be so positive about Yahoo mail's spam blocking if you receive only 1 spam a month? Gmail also has spam blocking, though I don't receive any spam so I don't know how effective it is.

I think people are "jumping ship" only because they know Google is an excellent company and that now that they've launched an email service, everyone wants to try it; but registration is on an invitation-only basis, so only a relatively few people can currently sign up.
