IMO what makes gmail a killer app is the powerful search facilities. I don't
plan to use my (hypothetical) account for email. I think the possibilities
for knowledge management are much more interesting.
Today, a powerful use of blogging is to record your knowledge bit-by-bit so
that over time your blog records become like a second memory (or third?).
(Strictly this is klogging or knowledge logging). I very much like the idea
of being able to search over everything I have ever known or thought about a
particular topic.
1GB is plenty for a long running blog + email, and will undoubtedly be
expanded as required.
