Probably June will be the month of the real blast of the email service providers. Yahoo!inc has announced this big change, and claims to give the users 100megs of free storage. This was a little while after the flying news of the 1GB that google claims to give the users.
But google,as google itself says, will check your email to attach appropriate adds. Means if you are sending email to a freind about his sexual weekness, it is very likely to your freind to recieve this email, with an add about the best viagra providers in the country. :blush: ..
But do you think yahoo respects your privacy. ? Do you prefer privacy or big storage. Questions are hard.
I like both :blush: .........

Nothing on the internet is private, but I sure would not want them scanning my email for content in order to send adds. I use outlook with the pop server of my ISP and have what seems like unlimited storage to me....I've never had a problem with storage and I get REALLY BIG emails.

I to will not be using any of the large one gig accounts that will be available. I prefer my emails not to be scanned and getting ads based on them. Unfortunately if they scan my emails, they will be adding ads about prescription drugs, debt problems, and helping certain body parts grow bigger. :eek:

I already subscribe to the yahoo plus but if the start scanning ads, I will immediately quit it.

It is clear that nothing is private in the web. The trouble appears when large number of people,mainly those with less experience, start to accept projects like gmail etc. Still we have thousands who do not know how to use outlook, it is simple to fool them. The internet should be safe for all the public, not only professionals.
Like my mother for example, she is still using lycos. What about her privacy, and more over, what about my privacy when she emails me saying "dear nikola i still remember the days when u were used be naked :blush: , why dont you send me 1000 buks i am in real trouble, i know you get alot at MicroSoft. "
who's secrets are being revealed here. Of course mine :blush: .
