Hotmail makes move to offer more e-mail
storage
06/24/2004 06:22 AM

Let me see pay Hotmail $19.95 a year for 2 gigs of storage or get 150 megs for free so long as I login once every 30 days to make sure the account does not get deleted or have virtually unlimited free storage on Gmail. Seems like a no brainer to me. Nice try in playing catch up. I think though since I have a paid Hotmail account that I will copy all of the e-mail I have with attachments to the Hotmail account and fill it to the brim. Might as well get my $19.95 worth out of the account. [eWeek]

Aliencamel.com announces that the email-storage-space race is over. This race was started by Google's Gmail service offering 1GB of storage. AlienCamel has gone the final step and is now offering its users unlimited storage. By removing limits on space, users now have a simple, low-cost service which will keep their emails safe, secure and backed up forever. AlienCamel has implemented the most sophisticated anti-spam filtering and email-virus-blocking technology over the last 18 months.

The folks who run MSN's Hotmail promised to deliver 250 megabytes of free storage to all users. That promise was made on the 4th of July, in a note that also said, "We will send an update on when and how these exciting changes will be made to your account within two weeks. Please check your email for this important update."

Users who have been checking have been sorely disappointed not to be hearing anything. So, while Yahoo! mail users and Gmail users -- those few who are beta testing the product, at least " have all the storage on Earth, or so it seems, Hotmail users are struggling along and making do with a measly two megabytes.

AIM account restored


AIM account restored 12/19/2004 03:06 PM

Ryan Naraine at eWeek who has been covering the AOL Instant Messenger account suspension SNAFU just contacted me to ask if my account had been restored. Apparently he was talking to AOL and they had said that the accounts had been restored. I checked and I still got the "Your screen name has been suspended and cannot be used to log in" error. Ryan contacted AOL and they fixed my account somehow. AOL didn't explain exactly why I was suspended and how I was cleared, but it appears that for now my account is back. Thanks Ryan. Is anyone else still having trouble? I assume that since I had to have them fix me manually, that there are probably others who haven't been restored. Or maybe they thought I was under 13 or something.

Gmail accounts go up for bid: I suppose there would be some cache value in having "bob@gmail.com" for an address.

Beta testers invited by Google to take part in its new free e-mail service also received invitations to give to another person, but many are being auctioned on eBay, so far fetching bids as high as $61. [...]

Currently, 42 testers have listed their invitations on eBay, with one offering to sell an additional invitation outright — for a mere $199.
