Gmail Accident Again?

I find my gmail account to be 2062MB today. Last time, before the time when everybody has a gmail account, they mistakenly gave me 100GB (though it was fixed the day after). I made another screenshot. I hope this 'upgrade' is pernament as a tactic to win over Yahoo!mail, which has announced to expand their users inbox space to 1GB...

AND one click on 'new features' tells me that it's not a mistake.
From Gmail help:
G is for growth
Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it. To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs. From Gmail, you can expect more.


Yay.

And I still have 50 invites (it seems like they constantly refresh my invite quota) avaliable...If anyone wants a 2GB storage/mail, comment + address and I'll send you an invite ^^

  1. Yeah, I have the same. But considering im only using 87 MB anyway...it doesn't really make a difference. And it won't to pretty much all normal email users anyway. Yahoo's 250mb was enough already; when they upgraded to 1 GB, it was only for publicity reasons, to look like they wer competing with google. Considering all their users had been fine on 6 MB before, how many do you think actually went up to the 250 MB lmiit they put in after gmail was introduced?
    They (either) could offer 1 terabyte of storage if they wanted, it won't cost them any more because nobody would use that much. And if they do, it's easy to just close their account for violating the terms of service. :D

  2. Oh, and if you look at their login page, you'll see that they are increasing the alloted storage. They even have a little counter constantly increasing to show how much space theyre offering.
