Who’s celebrating Christmas?

Posted by multippt

It’s nice to see that Yahoo and Google are putting on the Christmas spirit. As usual, Google has plans to create nice doodles for the days before Chirstmas. This is the 4th of the 5 for this year:

While Yahoo decided to go animated with some nice flash effects. A screenshot is shown below:

You can find the 3 here, here and here. Expect one more to come after though.

Even Ask has something to say about Christmas, with a nice template dedicated to Christmas.

There are many other sites celebrating Christmas as well, maybe at least mentioning it. Glad to see Christmas being celebrated online. Sadly, Microsoft (Live and MSN) didn’t really mention much about Christmas, aside from the ads.

Google’s Christmas present - 6GB email space

Sounds like the GMail space meter is going extra fast these few days. By Christmas, expect to have 6GB worth of storage for your account, because that’s how fast the space is increasing. Not too bad, considering that Google is now an email service that provides the second largest mail space that is constantly growing (currently topped by Yahoo with its wonderful limitless space). Though, don’t forget that the space is shared in your Google account, so Google documents and bookmarks take up that space as well. 6GB marks yet another milestone for GMail. It is not too long ago that GMail was 3GB, which was in early 2007.

Another thing worth of note is that Google is doing up some doodles for everyone’s pleasure (while Yahoo is doing flash animations).
