I didn't realize until now that Gmail is just now hitting the billion users mark. For some reason I thought they passed that milestone a long time ago.

Google revealed this week that its Web-based email service now has a billion users, proving yet again that it not only knows how to build and maintain a popular online tool, but also that email is a ways off from crawling into its deathbed. The news of Gmail’s breakthrough figure comes courtesy of Google CEO Sundar Pichai, who revealed the data on Monday during an earnings call with investors.
 
now... how many of those billions users are actually different ppl? 800m?
 
I figured they passed that number long ago. My wife has had several Gmail accounts, I have a couple. So many people use Gmail.
 
So are they counting users or accounts? To just be hitting it now, I bet it's users and the number of accounts is a lot higher.
 
I have 6 gmail accounts.
spam,
ocean,
me irl,
my family (for things like hulu, spotify, netflix, app stores )
work solo,
work collective.
 
Investor bait. These numbers are likely true, they just obfuscate certain aspects. They don't specify where they got them until you ask, and even if you ask they still might spin you some more. These numbers are not for impressing the billions of common folk. These numbers are there to give yuppies with more money than they know what to do with something to talk about while they sit around the infrared "fire pit" in their climate controlled "outdoor room"

"Check it out bros, Google just hit the big Bill mark... glad ive got like a bazillion google stock... oh man Im gonna be so much more richer than I already am... maybe this year I can get the G6!"
