looks like they're just letting everybody get gmail accounts now. it's funny, this link popped up on the korean version of google but not the english version. but there was an option to change the language. i guess its their way of limiting the number people signing up.

https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=mail&continue=http%3A%2F%2Fmail.google.com%2Fmail%2Fe-6-29d1d344b10cc22e-626ea5a3f6176210c7a5c1e1c38a36687821e5ea%3Fhl%3Dko%26co%3Dkr&type=2&t=54780b97-44b5e490-95be583d7fa70bbce1ff&hl=en

What's Gmail and why use it? Is it a better substitute for Hotmail?

Not really.

Since Hotmail went to a 250mb inbox I've not really used my Gmail.

However, Gmail does get through to Korean Hanmail addresses which Hotmail doesn't.

Overall, I prefer Hotmail. I don't like the Gmail interface.

Get one to correspond with your students who have hanmail, but use yahoo or hotmail for other purposes:

Thirty-One Privacy and Civil Liberties Organizations
Urge Google to Suspend Gmail

San Diego, CA, April 6, 2004 (Updated April 19) -- The World Privacy Forum and 30 other privacy and civil liberties organizations have written a letter [inserted below] calling upon Google to suspend its Gmail service until the privacy issues are adequately addressed. The letter also calls upon Google to clarify its written information policies regarding data retention and data sharing among its business units.

The 31 organizations are voicing their concerns about Google��s plan to scan the text of all incoming messages for the purposes of ad placement, noting that the scanning of confidential email for inserting third party ad content violates the implicit trust of an email service provider. The scanning creates lower expectations of privacy in the email medium and may establish dangerous precedents.

Other concerns include the unlimited period for data retention that Google��s current policies allow, and the potential for unintended secondary uses of the information Gmail will collect and store.
