Last year, Gmail launched itself on April Fools day. Everybody thought it was a prank from Google Labs, but alas, it didn’t happened the way the critics wanted to. Since that day, Gmail has been a phenom.

Providing such super large email space(1GB at that time) for users, Gmail sets the standards for super duper large email storage. Yahoo didn’t want to be left behind, catching up pretty quick lately. Hotmail, heh, well, still is Hotmail. Other super duper large email service providers started to appear, as they see this particular super sized up email storage gimmick working for Google.

As 1st of April 2005 arrived 2 days ago, Gmail is quickly pulling in more users. As their 1st anniversary present, they quickly enlarged our Gmail email storage from 1 gigabyte to 2 gigabytes. 2GB! Isn’t that a bit too much, eh Google? I mean, I still do have emails since 1994. But if I would round up all my emails since then till now, it couldn’t even fill 1/3 of the 1GB. But consider this, my ol’ emails were mostly text. Bah

But then again, this will definitely rise up the level for other email providers, or is it the other way around? Thank you Google, and Happy Belated Birthday Gmail! May the God bless your hard disks.

Place the Google Adsense JavaScript on your web page. The JavaScript then sends a request back to Adsense’s server, with the website visitor’s IP address. Adsense server then translates the visitor’s IP address to the exact geographic location, say Malaysia for instance (this is where Google Maps comes in). Adsense then search for ads from Malaysia and narrows down the result with the targeted keywords. Brilliant.
