Gmail Completes 5 years

Gmail was launched 5 years back, only through invitation. I was one of the lucky person to start using Gmail from the beginning. Gmail has improved a lot and the number of users have also gone up. Congratulations to the Gmail team for the improvement and growth that they have achieved during the last 5 years. Lots of new features have been added and I personally feel Gmail is the best email service on the world wide web.

The last 5 years have brought about a lot of change, and Gmail is now more than just mail. We added chat, and then video chat. We’ve invested in under-the-hood changes that allow for the rapid development that’s been happening lately in Gmail Labs — 43 experimental features in 43 weeks including tasks, offline, undo send, and even some silly stuff. What started as internal email for Google employees is now used by more than a million companies and tens of millions of people in 52 languages. And one gigabyte doesn’t feel like very much space anymore.

Wishing all the best to the Gmail team and many thanks for this free service to Google
