Gmail Dreaming – Hotmail tries

Last night I had this weird dream that for some reason google went crazy and gave me a ridiculesly large number of gmail invites. I want to say it was like 120. It was really strange. Speaking of Gmail, it seems that Hotmail has finally responded. They are upgrading all of their free accounts to 250mb, and their premium paid service to 2gb. However, they still freeze and delete the files from your free account if you don’t log in every 30 days, and they’re not upgrading everyone at once. They’re doing it gradually starting in July, with the paid accounts first. I’ve been wondering what hotmail would do to respond. It’s not just the space that makes Gmail so well liked, for one thing it’s because it’s Google, and Google is the web. The interface of Gmail is just so well done. The whole service is phenomenal. Google seems to do everything right. search, ads, email. I wouldn’t be surprised if they came out with, like, an IM feature some time and did it really well.
