Google Romances the World
This valentine's day, Google decide to romance the world by giving out free gmail accounts to everyone. Yes, it's true, you no longer need to request for an invite before you can sign up for a gmail account. (source: http://www.channelnewsasia.com/stories/technologynews/view/258937/1/.html)
So if you want a gmail account now, go to http://mail.google.com/mail/signup to sign up for you free account. =)
I don't know about the rest, but I'm using GMail and had been using it ever since. Free POP3, no crazy UI that suck up bandwidth. Really neat. Well, for me, when I access my mail, speed is more important then the UI. Well, that's just me.
