Gmail and Blogger
It seems as if the rumor we reported yesterday is definitely true as many readers reported that they were able to join Gmail through logging in Blogger. This expansion of the beta circle that Google is performing at the moment makes me believe that we are very close to the official public launch of Gmail.
What I find surprising in its magnitute is the number of comments (and personal emails) we received for yesterdays posting from people who are desparate to get a Gmail account. Gmail is definitely the most awaited service in the internet at the moment - and this proves again that the Google marketing technique of pre-announcing Gmail on April 1st certainly 'did the trick'.
It is also a sort of an eye opening experience to see that in todays 'free' internet world there is so much dissatisfaction about such a basic need as email yet the common user had no voice and no way of actually expressing this dissatisfaction.
The blogging phenomenon is definitely a 'common voice' and a way for individuals - and businesses - to express their likes and dislikes in ways that can actually make a difference (Search engine 'bombing' can be one of those but I will soon see this as part of customer action and not as a simple political prank).
