Webmail war

I suppose Gmail has been a thorn in the eye of Yahoo mail and Hotmail for quite some time. Hell, if I were them I would love to squash the competition when it starts too. I must say I love Gmail. I love its look, its spam guard and its 2GB and growing capacity (even though I never will use up that much, what do people do with their 2GB mailbox I wonder? Store music? back up their USB key?). Well, Gmail is still not very popular at the moment. The big guys like Yahoo and Hotmail are still, um, big. Come on people get a Gmail mail box and give it a try in the spirit of supporting the underdog.

Anyway, Yahoo and Hotmail have launched their Beta mail boxes to counter the growing Gmail community. I'm not too sure about Yahoo Mail Beta but Hotmail Kahuna (what's with the name?) will have a 2GB capacity. From the look of these shots, Yahoo Mail and Kahuna are looking good indeed. But hey they're still in beta you'll probably will have to wait for ages to get an invitation. In the mean time why not try Gmail?
