It might be like an April Fool's joke, but it isn't. Google has just announced that to celebrate the one-year birth of Gmail, the search engine giant is expanding its mail service to two gigabytes of storage space for members.
The new plan dubbed "Infinity+1" offers members twice the storage space - from one gigabyte to two - and adds rich text formatting to the one-year-old Gmail e-mail service.
On it's Gmail website, users can see a counter running showing the storage allocation for the mail service. As of 3:20pm EST the counter had reached over 1550 megabytes of storage.
"Storage is an important part of email, but that doesn't mean you should have to worry about it," Google says on the Gmail website. "To celebrate our one-year birthday, we're giving everyone one more gigabyte. But why stop the party there? Our plan is to continue growing your storage beyond 2GBs by giving you more space as we are able. We know that email will only become more important in people's lives, and we want Gmail to keep up with our users and their needs."
The added storage turmps Yahoo's move to one gigabyte last month for its Yahoo Mail.
