Gmail marks new goal for Google By Paul Taylor, FT.com
Larry Page, Google's co-founder and president, says the idea for Gmail - the internet search heavyweight's new free e-mail service - came from a Google user complaining about the facilities of existing e-mail services such as Yahoo! Mail and Microsoft's Hotmail.
The idea caught the attention of a Google engineer who thought it might be a good "20 per cent time" project - Google requires engineers to spend a day a week on projects that interest them, unrelated to their day jobs.
"Millions of M&Ms later, Gmail was born," said the company in a quirkily worded press release put out yesterday with an April 1 dateline that had many journalists (including this one) wondering whether this was another April Fool's spoof. Gmail, however, turns out to be real.
