向google学习

Google不但在技术上领先,在marketing方面也是专家。现在g级容量的邮箱已经不稀罕了,google肯定比我更清楚这一点,但google的方案实在是高明——它不在容量上跟其它服务商攀比(就算给你5g的容量又怎么样?你还是会问万一我的邮箱存满了怎么办?如果你还是想着以防万一(其实哪有那么多万一),那你一开始肯定想找一个容量(在当时)最大的服务商。Google肯定不想落入与hotmail,yahoo的容量攀比之风,但google也不想落后,于是搞出一招容量扩增计划:而且每分每秒都在扩增。这招挺有意思,我粗略关心了一下邮箱增长速度,还挺快——每天扩增25m,如果新增的空间都被往来的邮件填满、往来内容都是文本的话,你一天24小时不吃不睡看右肩也看不完这些邮件,所以根本不用担心容量以后会不够用。 至少在可以预见的将来是不用担心的。
