Google keeps hitting home runs with their amazing internet capabilities and offerings. They continue to offer helpful products, for free. The latest iteration of fun updates that they provide are Themes to their Gmail. When inside your Gmail account, click settings in the upper right corner, and choose from one of many themes that can be applied to your inbox. Some themes rotate through several images per day. Google will ask you what city in the world you live in and adjust the images based on your worldwide time zone.

My Gmail inbox is approaching 8 gigabytes in free space. That’s 8,000 megabytes of space, or about 7,000 pictures from a digital camera or an entire iTunes library with roughly 2,500 songs. (That free space also keeps growing each day) Along with free blogging space, free website space, free picture editing software, free image space online, free language translators, free searches, and tons more, it’s a wonder everyone doesn’t use Google. They even let me use my personal internet domain on my e-mail address: @tobylaura

Some poor souls are still locked into using Yahoo!, Hotmail, Earthlink, or even worse, their local internet provider for e-mail. If you get even one spam a month in your inbox, it’s time to switch to Gmail. In the several years I’ve used Gmail, I have had exactly ONE spam e-mail slip into my inbox. No one on the internet can beat that.

Want a huge inbox, no spam, and great free features? Switch to Gmail and you’ll never look back. If you are real lazy, Google will even allow you to let people e-mail your old address and send them mail with your new address so you don’t even have to tell anyone you’ve switched. It’s kind of like using Windows and then switching to Apple. The move sounds like a daunting hassle, but once you’ve made the move, you never look back and wondered how you survived. So what are you waiting for? Sign up here, and only pay a $35 registration fee. (Just kidding, of course it’s free, it’s Google)
