 I think this is an April fools prank... but marketing genius just the same. The 'pop' culture is going to "drink it up."http://www.google.com/googlegulp/ - http://www.google.com/googlegulp/ Telling: "Google Gulp and Your Privacy From time to time, in order to improve Google Gulp's usefulness for our users, Google Gulp will send packets of data related to your usage of this product from a wireless transmitter embedded in the base of your Google Gulp bottle to the GulpPlex™, a heavily guarded, massively parallel server farm whose location is known only to Eric Schmidt, who carries its GPS coordinates on a 64-bit-encrypted smart card locked in a stainless-steel briefcase handcuffed to his right wrist. No personally identifiable information of any kind related to your consumption of Google Gulp or any other current or future Google Foods product will ever be given, sold, bartered, auctioned off, tossed into a late-night poker pot, or otherwise transferred in any way to any untrustworthy third party, ever, we swear.

It is an apirl fools joke. In my opinion it isnt very good. The good thing it that the gmail account space has been more than doubled and it isnt a joke.  |

I reckon they will be releasing gmail to the public soon because gmail
invites are being given out on the google homepage occasionally. It took hotmail ages to upgrade from 2mb to 250mb so they need to get started on 1gb now  |
