Gmail

[deadair]

...is that a tracheotomy tube?

 

[minxnim]

i really am not interested in having a gmail account at all, does that make me lame?

 

[The Dope]

I'm kind of right there with you. I mean, I already have an email account that suits my needs just fine. I can't imagine ever needing to google my own inbox.

 

[minxnim]

yea i can't figure out why i should want it

 

[The Dope]

I guess maybe when I am finally out of school and lose my student email account I might look into it. But I just don't know/like/keep in touch with enough people to really make it that big a deal.

i just don't want to change e-mail addresses.

 

[Nut Butter]

I'm ususally the king of change avoidance, especially when it means having to "export" contact lists and such, and letting everyone know about the change of address. Too many hassles. So trust me, if I made the leap it's cause it was worth it.
I was all "why would I want to change" too at first, but was quickly impressed into submission.

 

[minxnim]

i don't get why it's so worth it. who needs to save a bejillion old emails anyway?

 

[Nut Butter]

nostalgics maybe...
Beyond the storage space and threaded conversations though, it just looks and feels damn cool. I guess the main reason I jumped on-board is simply because I'd been waiting for a good reason to dump hotmail, which had been increasingly pissing me off lately.
But if you're entirely satisfied with your present mail service I can understand why it's not an interesting prospect.

well you might have a case where a year and a half ago someone sent you an email about a groaning Atlantic ocean blob.

 

[minxnim]

i compulsively delete every email people send me within a day figuring they probably dont want their stuff saved on my computer.
also: threaded emails = who cares?

 

[avi]

the threaded conversations kind of suck when they lump together emails with the same subject but from different people.

 

[xfer]

avi has like two thousand emails in a single thread titled "Hej"

 

[minxnim]

haha weird. i get a bunch of those too.
