Marketing Idea?

An auto insurance company that uses the marketing of a prescription drug company.

144 rolls of toilet paper, 4 cases of paper towels, 20 gallons of applesauce, and some search engine marketing?!

Gmail gives you 6gb now

From Mashable.com:

ParisLemon notices that Gmail has not only gotten festive with funny notes, they’ve also accelerated their secret Gmail storage calculating algorithm so that every Gmail user now has 6 GB of storage – just in time for Christmas.

Honestly, I’m disappointed. Six measly gigs? I would have expected a round number, like 10. We all know that Google has infinite resources, therefore we expect to get everything for free, infinitely. In exchange for our souls, of course.

Google Checkout for Nonprofits

Checkout is Google’s answer to paypal.  It’s a payment gateway and it’s really easy to use.  Google is donating all transaction fees (including credit card fees) to nonprofits until Dec. 31, 2008.
