Even since then (although there have been many advancements), it was still better than even what Hotmail or Yahoo email services are today. <em>Why?<\/em> Conversations! Instead of an extremely annoying email system where every single back-and-forth reply is an entirely separate email, a whole conversation is tracked in a thread-like list in just one email.<\/p>\n<p>I can understand if you don&#8217;t really care, you&#8217;re not really big on using email anyway. But, Gmail is not just for tech-savvies. If you email a lot or if you have a business (which means you better have an online presence), you also better be using Gmail for communications. You might be thinking: &#8220;<em>That doesn&#8217;t sound very professional, bobsmovingco@gmail.com?<\/em>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Not to worry, you can manage your entire server&#8217;s email with: <a href=\"https:\/\/gsuite.google.com\/features\/?section=gmail\">Gmail for Work<\/a>. So, you can have contact@bobsmovingco.com managed by Gmail. Not only that, but you can use Google Calendar, Docs, Talk, and more to handle your internal communications and organization.<\/p>\n<h2>Here&#8217;s a Really Cool Trick That Even Veteran Gmail Users Might Not Even Know About<\/h2>\n<p>Gmail is 2 for 1! If you have bob@gmail.com you also have bob@googlemail.com. <em>How&#8217;s that helpful?<\/em> One example, is that I have separate Facebook accounts for both personal and work use. This means I could use the two technically-separate email addresses, but still manage everything in one spot, from one account.<\/p>\n<h2>Let&#8217;s Not Forget&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>When you have a Gmail account, that also means you have a Google account to give you access to many great services: YouTube, Google Analytics, Webmaster Tools, AdSense, AdWords, the coveted Google+, and tons more, all managed in one place.<\/p>\n<h2>Consider Yourself Intervened!<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gmail.com\/\" class=\"button\">Start Using Gmail Now<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gmail is hands-down, the best email service you can possibly use.
