Gmail turns 10 – Happy Birthday!

Gmail is 10 years old even if it seems much more youthful thanks to the continuous improvements made by Google. The project started many years ago and saw the first official public appearance on 1 April 2004, but it took 5 years to eliminate the Beta written by the mail client. Only July 7, 2009 he was promoted to the status of the final.

The launch on the day of the ” Fish ” originally created havoc in the network so that much thought gmail was a joke because even in 2004 a service of this kind was considered revolutionary because the e-mail address is used but were only for work or so much more marginal than it is today.

Gmail debuted in 2004 as mentioned above, but the project actually dates to 2001 and was initially created with the intention to implement a search engine for e-business. The success was enormous immediately within Google was created so that a real e-mail system that gave birth to Gmail. At the launch of Gmail in 2004, have 1GB of space was considered a record today, and if we think that the 25 GB. are available (and few seem) we realize how much the market, and the demands are totally changed.

What surely is curious is that Gmail initially saw a very slow adoption process because resources were few and everything was based on approximately Pentium III 300 considered waste by the same Google company. In 10 years, Gmail has changed the world of e-mail, for both private and corporate creating an ecosystem that combines office, leisure and entertainment within a single program with a lot of chatting, clouds, office integration and much more yet.

You could now do without Gmail? We do not!
