A day in history - Google introduces Gmail 13 years ago
Today, 13 years ago Google introduced Gmail with 1GB of email storage.
I remember we all dismissed it as April's Fools Day joke. But low and behold, the next day it was still in the news and real. They changed the email world on that day forever. How time flies... |

Fake news are a big problem... because i see a lot of people that think that every news in the net... is true!
Back to Gmail, i think that it change the free mail market, but after the launch, our privacy is lost, i know they don't sell data, but data mining today is invandig our life |

Online privacy is an illusion, but after Snowden scandal, I think that all must use the best service that protect privacy, and Gmail is not the best.
