I was convinced that I’d been using Gmail since around 2000 … until I was corrected on Twitter and I checked. Gmail has only been around since 2004 and in that time it has become a common piece of our lives as white bread. It isn’t exciting (at least not since the days when invites to the beta were limited and much sought after), all it really does is e-mail. I feel like I’ve been using it for much longer than I obviously have.
