I pretty much knew about most of the stuff there, but it is nice to have it all in one place.

Thanks for letting us know about this, it looks like it could be a good resource.

I think that since everyone is so damn busy nowadays that there is alot of oppurtunity in marketing time-saving proucts and services like this one.

I really enjoyed Gmail for their features. It’s highly recommended to use as your personal email service. But for business, I would go for a business domain email address. It looks more professional and gives more credibility to your recipients.

Thanks for the info. It’s amazing to know how many freebies are out there for us to use. I’m just starting to use Gmail so it’s good to know more about it.
