strangely out of place: friendster edition

So what if Yahoo’s removed the storage limit on my mail? I find that I prefer to use Gmail. First of, Yahoo’s so slow. Second, the number of spam I receive in it is huge! I mean, I do use my Gmail account to sign up for stuff, but I don’t receive this much junk! What’s worse it that about 40% of it doesn’t get routed to the junk mail folder. I spend half the time going through my inbox marking stuff as junk. At least with Gmail, I know that 90% of the stuff in the junk is really junk.

Lastly, I love how Gmail has this grouping function for threaded email. I don’t have to go through my entire inbox just to read something that’s part of that thread. Instead, I just open one email and read everything. Nice.

Admittedly, there are some Yahoo features that would be a nice addition to Gmail (but for life of me, I can’t think of any right now, hehe). Interface wise, I like how uncluttered Gmail is.

Ok, I’m just rambling. Besides, this past few days I’ve had the chance to play around with my Google account (Picasa, Docs & Spreadsheets, Adsense, etc) and I must say I’m having fun with it.
