Google Mail Contest

Okay, I didn't predict the next Google Toolbar PR update correctly, big deal.

Despite my embarrassing and incorrect prediction, I've decided to try a different contest.

Even though I'm just as likely to be wrong again, I thought it'd be fun to venture a guess of another sort.

And, to the winner, I will give a sitewide link on Heres1.com from the time of the contest close (upon someone winning) for no less than 180 days:

When will Google Mail hit 3.0 GB in size?

My prediction based on very scientific guess work is 25-Dec-2005.

 

February 23rd, 2006.

 

29th December 2005

When will I be able to see a close up of my car/bike etc. on google earth

2655.084803gb @ 5:24:40 EST on 10/16/05
2655.085032gb @ 5:25:40 EST on 10/16/05

2655.085032 - 2655.084803 = 0000.000229/minute

3000.0 - 2655.084803 = 344.915197

344.915197/0.000229 = 1,506,179.899563318777292576419214 minutes

1,506,179.899563/60 = 25,102.998326055312954876273653566 hours

25,102.998326/24 = 1,045.9582635856380397865114022317 days

1,045.958264/365 = 2.8656390783168165473603052115936 years

Estimated date that Google hits 3 gigs at this speed = 8/27/2008. Basically, Google is adding 1gb of storage every 3 days.

 

To meet that deadline, Gmail would have to add around 4.9gb per day... about 15 times faster than its current rate of 0.33gb/day.

 

So Gmail should hit the 3Gb mark in about 2 Hrs time then

 

Didnt mean to kill this thread...

Google usually adds storage in big chunks, so estimating it based on the speed of the little counter could easily be way off.

 

No biggie, I simply chose Xmas day figuring Google would "round-up" as a present

 

What the hell. I like contests like this.
February 1, 2006. My birthday.

Ummm... what if I win both?

 

Getting a little ahead of ourselves aren't we?

That's a good question actually, I'll have to give it some thought, but I do own several other websites, I'm sure that in the off-chance someone were to win both of my current contests I could make provisions for them hitting the "trifecto" so to speak.

 

december 28th

día de los inocentes (fool's day in Mexico xD )

 

Quick! Start another! I wanna go for the hat trick!

 

Why not join? I'm guessing Feb 14th.. bit romantic here..

 

I am guessing March 8th, what do i get again?

 

This thread will probably be forgotten by then!

My guess is 6th June 2006.

 

I'll go with Jan. 2, 2006.

 

Translation: How much did the space counter change in one day? Then from that much change, how many days will it need to pass 3 Gig.

I'll give you my guess in about 24 hourz!!

 

I don't know whether to wait with abated breath to see what type of mathematical formulation you derive to anticipate this prediction .... or to see what type of atypical wacko answer you come up with

Either way, I'm looking forward to it
