Is it just me or does anyone else think that Google is possibly thinking of dropping Gmail service as well? Think Google Reader.
- drcode 13y agoNot impossible, though I'm guessing gmail is used widely enough that it would be a PR nightmare if they did this, much worse that the greader fiasco. They're probably forced to keep gmail alive, whether they want to or not.
- packetslave 13y agoPretty sure nobody anywhere thinks that.
- Matt_Cutts 13y agoNope, I definitely don't think that.
- dannyr 13y agoGoogle allows you to download your files from Google Drive. Is Google dropping Drive as well? /sarcasm
- redbullcat 13y agoGmail is one of Google's core services...they couldn't just kill it off.
- ollyculverhouse 13y agoNot a chance. Gmail is way too valuable for Google to just shut down (and no Reader wasn't as valuable).
- Nux 13y agoNah, if they close down gmail they're going to lose a lot of people. They still have not brainwashed enough with G+. I do suspect though that gmail's pop3/imap will go the way of the xmpp.
- bsdetector 13y agoI've been using gmail exclusively on my iphone for years with no ads. They've lost whole dollars providing this service to me. But they want to make money off me, not lose me as a potential revenue. So my bet is this is in preparation for showing 'sponsored' emails in your imap/pop3. "If you don't like it, just download all your emails and use another service" will be a talking point to suppress outrage, knowing that few people will actually go to the trouble of changing their email address. Fanboys will lap it up.
