image thumb71 Gmail crawls past AOL to be the third most popular Web Email service

While it took a long time to step out of beta, Gmail has made huge strides to grow rapidly. Presently it became the third most popular Web email service surpassing AOL Email. It currently has more than 37 million users, just 10 million short of the 47 million that Windows Live Hotmail has. Now that still is quite a distant dream and the number one spot which is held firmly by Yahoo Mail with 106 million users but if Google does keep putting out better features it will definitely take little time to grab the number two position. With an ever increasing storage space and new features coming in on daily basis, I am pretty sure that it wont have a tough time crossing Hotmail.
