Google Lively
Did you ever get into Second Life? Basically, you could consider it a game, but for a lot of people, it’s more than just that. As an example, it’s enough to say that, a few months ago, I read an article about a real world company involved in the real estate business… in Second Life! So, we have real estate brokers arriving at the office, starting the computer, getting into Second Life, and then doing what one real estate broker usually does – selling properties, virtual ones, to be more precise, and earning money, but real money, this time. Now, you are probably wondering what’s the link between all this and Hitsgarden, aren’t you? I’ll get to it right away…
My friends, it’s all about Google! No, it’s not about Google Docs, Google Mail, Blogger or another service/application currently developed by the Californian IT giant that we are all familiar with.

Get Ready for @live.com Email Addresses

Gmail Now Offering 4GB Storage
A few days ago, the Mountain View super giant announced that it has decided to speed up the Gmail storage size counter in order to offer more space for the registered users. Previously, the Google mail technology offered 2,8GB of storage size but the counter was continuously increasing it. Today, the storage space reached 4GB of storage, at this time Gmail offering 4222.173152 megabytes (and counting) of free storage.
Since Gmail was released on April 1, 2004, it quickly attracted users’ attention because it provided no less than 1 GB storage capacity, the largest capacity ever implemented into a mail technology at that time. Although it was available only by invitation, almost every user who wanted an account managed to get one since every registered Gmail member received 100 invites. Read more
