poor little gmail

Wednesday, May 24th, 2006

As mentioned over at ZDNet:

The most interesting data in the Hitwise analysis though is undoubtedly the comparison of verticals between Google, Yahoo and MSN. In web email services, despite my post at the end of last week about Gmail being the best webmail service – when it comes to cold hard stats Gmail is a distant last:

1. Yahoo Mail 42.4%
2. MSN Hotmail 22.9%
3. MySpace mail 19.5%
4. Gmail 2.54%

Less than 3% for Gmail? I am not sure how exactly these statistics are compiled, but that is surprising. At a time when it seems like everyone you know is switching to Gmail, it turns out hardly anyone is using it at all. Something just does not seem right. Then again, MySpace is on this list and that is not an email service.

wolfmother

As previously mentioned, I really need to start doing this feature in a more timely manner.

The album of the month for April 2006:
Wolfmother – Wolfmother

I normally dislike classic rock, avoiding it whenever possible. This reincarnation of 70s rock I am crazy about. Odd.
