New search engine Accoona, was launched with great fanfare in December last year. But hold the applause. It's a promising start and indeed necessary to find out whether Accoona is technically geared to play ball in the big leagues. Your opinion is welcome.

My opinion is that spammers are like prison bitches.  You'll always have them hanging around, but at least nobody's going to get you in trouble for beating the shit out of them.  :lol:

I've used it.  I love it, too.

Google is the best at thinking outside the box.


Did you see that the gmail link is now public?

I love Google. It is the savior of finding things on the Net ... But Gmail is public? Surely not ... That's what I loved about having Gmail, not everyone else did ... But upon further inspection, I don't think they've made it fully public yet. I can't find the link at any rate. Maybe I'm just overlooking it though.

Until there's a big flashing GOOGLE FREE EMAIL CLICK HERE GOOGLE EMAIL CLICK CLICK CLICK on their front page, it's never going to be truly public.

You could always use an extra gmail account as a small and slow storage drive:

Actually, you don't need an invite anymore.  I don't see where to send them from now.

I think you can just go to google and get one.
