Webmail Emerging

For the longest time, webmail has been a dark corner of the internet, only used when people don't have the money to spend on a real email account, or needed an account with which to register with sites sure to send spam.

With the release of Google's beta webmail app, Gmail, all of that changed. Webmail capacity grew to an unprecedented size. But the growth doesn't stop with Gmail. Other sites around the net are doing the same thing, just with less pulicity and diminished flare.

The 30gigs webmail service gives the user an account with 30 gigabytes of space, an extreme amount compared to Google's roughly 2 1/2 gigs.

But it doesn't stop there. Mailnation provides users with a TERABYTE of space! That's nearly one thousand times the amount Google gives.
