Google Prepares to Unveil Gmail 2.0

CYBERSPACE — Featuring leaner code, faster use and compatibility with online photo albums, Internet giant Google is preparing to unveil the new version of their online email application Gmail.

Adult webmasters who use Gmail told XBIZ they enjoy the web app's ease of use, as well as its trustworthy domain name.

Carl Borowitz, vice president of marketing for Big Sister Media, told XBIZ he prefers Gmail over its other major competitors.

"I need reliable email with a good spam filter that's regarded as trusted if I'm in the Internet biz," he said. "Gmail is still OK for most of the people I communicate with. I could never use Yahoo or Hotmail – that's a scam alert."

A few screenshots of Gmail 2.0 leaked online, prompting a flurry of gossip and clandestine beta-testing.

Anonymous reviewers reported that the new Gmail features rewritten JavaScript code on its back-end and offers improved contacts management.

Users have always been able to add pictures to their contacts, but now they can choose files straight from Google's Picassa photo-sharing website.

Some reviewers speculated that Google's focus on improving contacts management and photo-sharing points toward an overall move toward more social networking applications for Gmail, which may affect the future of Google's social networking website Orkut.com.

Online reviewers also reported that Gmail's filters management has been improved.
