it's google's e-mail program. you get 1GB of space and it stores messages differently. you can search it and it displays messages as conversation threads. also it displays ads that go with your conversations. does that make any sence?

I like it. and it gets past the filters at work.

it's becoming an "in thing" with the geek crowd to have one.

it's in beta testing right now. i've heard that once the beta testing is over, beta testers get to keep their free accounts but other people will have to pay.
