GMail Users, Rejoice!

If you catch it in time, check out the GMail login page:

It looks like they’re turning 1 today, and as a reward, there are a few new features for everyone! First of all, everyone’s getting an extra gig of space! That’s right, now you’re up to 2GB! But wait-if you log in, you’ll see you definitely have more than 1GB, but less than 2GB. Why? Check out the login page-they’re increasing everyone’s space gradually and you can see how much space each person is getting as it increases on the front page! Watch those megabytes climb!

The best part is that it’s accurate, and here’s to hoping its not an April Fool’s joke!

The second new feature is rich-text formatting in GMail messages! For those of you who like being able to personalize your messages with color, fonts, large or small text, and all that jazz, you can finally do it and send it away with all your happy customizations! Give it a try. Can’t say I will, I’m a plain text kinda guy, but hey-I know a lot of people out there aren’t, so this is a good thing!
