GMail gets competition of Israe lische WallaMail
Googles GMail is the walhalla for the webmailer: a megapostbus of 1 gigabyte large that really supersnel reacts, with a thorough free antispamfilter and Googles own searchfunctionaliteit. Unfortunately is wrong GMail yet in the test phase and must you thus wait till you of a GMail-user an invitation sent gets to may also such mailbox make. WallaMail offers an interesting alternative that is immediately available.
“We considered already round the raise limit for our Walla-users until 100 megabyte to raise, yet for Google with GMail came”, says Erez Philosoph, the CEO of the Isralische portaalsite Walla Communications. “Then we of their webmail learnt, thought we: that can we also”. Concretely you can get by Walla an e-mailbox of 1 GB with antivirus and spamfilter. Users can receive mails with a maximum size of 10 megabyte. Also in a missing position is foresee, but it is not clear which technology Walla for that uses. For an extra large mailbox, you need besides no Hebrew or Arabic to can: Walla is usual in the English available.
Although GMail currently all media-attention gets, and until now closed in size not yet through competitors exceeded is (about that not in a free variant), hopes Walla really Google to outdo. Walla Communications brags especially with extra multimediafunctions as support for videomovies, digital photographs and an own make up for e-mails. “GMail currently yet awful tekstueel is and basic. We find that users in the broad tie era more plezier at their e-mails must experience”, according to Philosoph.
WallaMail has already more than 1 million users, whose mailbox the coming days thus till 1GB are expanded. The business behind of the worldly first gigabyte-webmail hopes to earn the investments back via the placing of directed advertisements. A computer program seeks in the text of e-mails to particular key words, at the hand of which accompanying reclamebanners to show are. That key words get in the e-mail also a hyperlink to the relevant advertisers. Google do not uses comes a comparable recognitions system for its advertisements, but at the text of the e-mails. He who a Walla want without advertisements, pays 14.99 dollars per year.
