Lycos Jumps On The 1Gb Email Train (But Not Really)







Lycos Jumps On The 1Gb Email Train (But
Not Really)

Lycos Jumps On The 1Gb Email Train (But
Not Really)
05/18/2004 01:13 PM

As expected, lots of other providers are trying to jump on the 1 gig of email train started by Google's Gmail announcement last month. Yahoo already announced their version which is actually 100mb of free storage for email and "virtually unlimited" storage for paid accounts (though the very real limits are not explained). Lycos, however, has marketing people who realize the entire focus is on that "1 gig" number and have announced that they've beaten Google to the punch by offering 1 gig of email storage today. Of course, beneath that comes the fine print that points out the one gig is only for paid users. Free users have a very Yahoo-like 100 mb.

Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?


Google Email? Would You Trade Off Ads
For Better Email Search?
01/17/2004 10:47 PM
The big discussion that I've been having with a few different people over the last few weeks is whether or not Google would get into the email business - and, if so, how? To me, it seems like an obvious extension of their technology and business model - but not everyone agrees. However, the rumors are getting louder and louder that Google is developing an email product. The question is whether they'll be offering an entire "Google Email" system, or if they're just working on a version of their AdSense offering that would work within email (generating contextual ads based on the content of the email). Some people I've spoken to about it thought that people would freak out if they thought Google was reading their email to do its contextualization magic - which could be true. The question is how many people will freak out - and will plenty of others be more than willing to welcome the Google contextualization engine into their inbox, in exchange for the ability to actually "Google your email"? Many people always seem to want the ability to better search through their own email. I could see a certain willingness from many people to let Google place ads in their email in exchange for the ability to better search through all the email. If Google could figure out a good anti-spam solution, as well, it could be a real hit.

For years, SMTP server software was used to send and receive e-mail communications. These older servers, usually freeware, have created many delivery challenges. Most of the time, marketers, CEO’s and even CMO’s are completely unaware of these issues. The owners of ActivSoftware, in central New York, introduced a worldwide challenge to prove their software system (http://www.activsoftware.com/xms) is one of a kind in the email industry.
