What is Gmail?

March 05, 2009
Posted by: Matt

Gmail is, in short, Google Email.

Gmail as an email system brings all that Google has to offer as far as convenience and productivity are concerned. Packaged with it is an impressive array of other services: chat, video chat, sms text messaging, calander, documents, reader, etc.

Gmail, in and of itself, is a powerful tool. A built in spam blocker sets the standard for the internet; the dependability of the search function is second to few; and the massive amount of archived space allows for all messages to be saved. Moreover, it is a snap to set up on a Blackberry.

All in all, Google does a good job on this project. More features are added constantly, and the integration with the other Google systems is nearly seamless.
