It has been revealed that Google are about to up the Gmail storage to 2 gigabytes up from the previous 1 gigabyte. Not that long ago, Gmail threw the webmail world into chaos by offering a (at that time) unheard of level of free storage. After the announcement, Yahoo, Microsoft and the other big webmail providers upped their own offerings to similar high levels (though my 25MB Hotmail account seems pretty sad by comparison). Now Google will once more take the bull by the horns and increase their limit to 2 gigabytes, which would I imagine, make it the uncontested leader in online webmail storage.
In other Google news, they are currently embroiled in numerous lawsuits with companies objecting to Googles Adsense system using their trademarks as keywords for sale. And this is just after they lost a case in France against a media company that objected to their content being used on Google’s news aggregation service. I don’t understand that at all, Google news sends us a couple of thousand extra hits every month, I don’t understand why a media company wouldn’t want as many people to see their content as possible.
