Google – Gmail , Yahoo – Ymail!

by The Big K on August 4, 2008

Google’s made ‘Gmail’ the popular name for ‘Email’. I’ve even heard people saying “Send me Gmail”. Now, I think ‘Gmail’ is a clever name. It sounds so much like “Email”.

…and you does not want to be left behind. It has launched a new domain called “Ymail”. I don’t like the name ‘Ymail’. Its BOORING!

Anyway!

Right. Why-mail.

Come to think of it, it could have been popular, if it had come out on time… like before Gmail.

But now, not. It’s just another Gmail wannabe.

I guess for each product, it should have its USP, mainly for people to try it out. And also, it should be a GOOD product to retain those people and get more !!
When GMail came along, it brought something which no one was offering. That was a huge mailbox size. !!

Thats why, lot of *us* actually moved to GMail in the first place !!
