Clicking the "more" link on Google's front page takes you to a screen full of icons that provide access to the less common services, such as Google Answers, Catalogs, Maps and Print (printed books). Beneath that is the Google Tools section, which includes Desktop Search and the Google Toolbar. Blogger, Keyhole and Picasa are also featured here, though neither Gmail nor Orkut gets a mention.Gmail has been in beta test for more than a year. Access is still by invitation only, though there is no shortage of those. However, Gmail's initial selling point - a gigabyte of storage - has since been matched elsewhere. Yahoo Mail now offers a gigabyte, so Gmail's latest offer, 2GB, is no longer such an attraction.Gmail scores because it has a good user interface, works quickly, has good spam filtering and because you can use Google to search your email. But Gmail has drawbacks, too, such as the lack of integration with other services, and the AdWords down the right hand side. It is now roughly equivalent to Yahoo Mail, though Microsoft's Hotmail remains consistently horrible.
