Walla 1G mail advertised via Google AdWords

intelliot · 07-29-2004, 01:06 AM

I did a Google search for Gmail today and spotted an ad for Walla.com "free 1G mail" on the right side (AdWords). I went ahead and signed up, just to see what it's like. My address is [email]intelliot@walla.com[/url] - but don't send anything important, I intend not to use it much.

I'll report on experiences in some time

I think people just like the invieroment(spelling)
of google gmail better, because the can say oh I have a gmail account.

i have a walla account, but it isn't compatable with my browser [firefox 0.9]. and rediffmail isn't that good either. having a gmail account is like saying you have a rolex or a benz. it's just the thought of having one that makes people want it.

i think its alright but ill be sticking with gmail for now thank you. i just love it. even these free 1 giggers are putting ads in the bottom of your emails and i cant stand that so gmail seems to be the way to go for that. i just hope they dont put ads in the bottom of it once they go public. i hate always reading an email from a friend it saying "Join yahoo, blah blah blah". gets on my nerves

I know what your talking about jeramy. I use both hotmail and yahoo.... and those annoying self-promoting ads get on my nerves. Its there for a reason to get people that you sent it to to join up with either yahoo or hotmail. I dont understand why it needs to be on there anyway because it already has the "@yahoo.com] and "@hotmail.com] in your email address. If a person sees that and wants to get a yahoo or hotmail account they will. Why make us have the taglines at the end of a email.

I mean, Yahoo fair enough, cos I can understand that people might not know they have an email service. It isn't readily apparent from the address or the fact that there a search engine.

Hotmail however is obviously a mail account. One that sounds like it could be weird and dodgy too
