OK, the thing that struck me about this image from GigaOm, was the size of the Gmail market - around 100 million users. Already half the size of the Hotmail market which has been going for a decade. And look at Outlook - only 4 times bigger - after all these years.
So, do some math - 100m x 6732mB of disk space (as at today) - that’s 673200 TeraBytes of storage. (or 673.2 PetaBytes). Yeow - my brain hurts.

OK, so why the zen bones thing?
About 20 years ago I stumbled upon a book called "Zen Flesh, Zen Bones". Being vegetarian - the "flesh" bit didn't grab me, but the short pithy Zen stories inside it, did.
Ever since then my web nick has been zenbones, my Hotmail, my Gmail address, you name it. It's kinda stuck.
Is the blog about Zen? Nope.
