While long weekends might be good for refreshing one self up they obviously have one miss out important news. One such news was MySpace Mail that went live earlier. The service goes live after almost a year in works and it’s good to see MySpace adding another dimension to the many it has already. As had been said earlier, MySpace Mail will surface as a major webmail service with a many as 20% of its 130 million users will have access to it. Let’s hope it places it at number two in another race as well.
Interesting consideration about the 20%. If mySpace has 130mil of users that does not mean that all of them will have emails ending @myspace.com or whatever. The loyalty to the mail service is a very strong issue. That’s why Yahoo!Mail and AOL Mail has even created a features of importing emails from Gmail just to make sure people will choose them as no 1. email provider even if they use Gmail, which is considered superior technologically.
The question remains how long will it take to have these 20% from 130 million users using MS email as primary one.
