E-Mail
E-Mail/Storage Wars Continue With Announcements from Ask Jeeves and Microsoft
No slowdown of news from this sector.
+ Ask Jeeves lets us know that their My Way (www.myway.com), Excite, and iWon portals will now provide 150MB of storage space. Excite Gold (their fee-based mail service. 19.99/year) will now offer 2GB of space. Jeeves acquired these sites when the company acquired Interactive Search Holdings in May. I have a few free e-mail accounts with My Way and have found that the service works well. Registration couldn’t be easier. The new service will be available beginning in September. Ask Jeeves will also recycle more than 1 million email addresses to make them available to new users.
+ Microsoft has announced that their Hotmail service will offer 250MB of storage space for free. Its paid service ($19.95/year) will offer 2GB of storage space.
+ Yahoo! announced last week that they will provide 100MB for free. Their paid service ($19.95/year) will offer 2GB along with several other services.
