Four to Five Meg per Day

I only have three days recorded in my log so far. Right now it looks like GMail increases their space by four to five megabytes per day.

Hmmm...

That's over 1,460 megabytes per year and 14,600 every ten years. Wow, we're all going to have over 16 gigabytes of email storage in ten years.

Starting My Tracking

As mentioned in my last post I'm going to start tracking the amount of space that gets added to GMail each day. I'm not sure how long I'll do this for, but I'm starting today. Already, it looks like Google has added 7MB to GMail since my last post.

Unlimited Space?

I can't really tell if the space Google is allowing in GMail is a joke or not. It seems unreasonable to continue adding space to accounts on an ongoing basis. How can they afford it? As of writing this right now I have 2311.292*** megabytes of space.

Something I'm looking to do here in the future is make some projections on how much space I would have in ten years, assuming the increase rate remains the same. To me, it seems like the number would be huge, and maybe that would be reasonable ten years from now. However, I just can't get my head around unlimited space.

So keep an eye out for future posts.
