For those of you with aol.com, yahoo.com, cox.net, sbcglobal.net, att.net email accounts, consider supplementing your email address with a gmail.com account.I know most of you want to keep it simple, and therefore you have only one email account. It may be the one that your ISP Internet provider has issued you (i.e. cox.net, sbcglobal.net) or may even be the one you've had since you first started browsing the internet. But there have been an increasing amount of advances in technology that allow you to do so much more with an email address. Sure yahoo, cox, & others offer similar features to Google, but when it comes to simplicity and intuitiveness, all others are pale in comparison.
What you can do with your Gmail account:
- Simple email with Gmail. Easy, fast, clutter free.
- Easily share or email pictures & videos w/ Picasa. Doesn't get much simpler than this. Upload, edit, print, share your photos with just one program!
- Read a collection of your news favorites w/ Google Reader. Read only the news & blogs you want, nothing more, nothing less.
- Organize your life with Google Calendar. Be on time. Be organized. Sync to your phone. Sync to your Outlook. Your calender, everywhere you go.
- Easily chat and video conference with GMail. Why download a separate program to chat, when keeping in touch is as easy as checking your gmail!
- Create discussion groups & mailing lists w/ Google Groups. Don't you hate it when you email a group of people a question, then slowly receive hundreds of responses on your email. So hard to keep track! Especially painful if you have a blackberry and it buzzes every minute with a new response. Instead, create a topic, and discuss the topic in an organized and simple manner, where no response is ever lost in your mailbox.
This coming week will be dedicated to exploring the Gmail interface and the Google features! So stay tuned!
