Is Google the most innovative organization of our times ? Their services and offerings have definetly made life much more easier for us and they never cease to suprise us their vision and technical ability. So after giving it’s users unlimited email space(2866 MB and increasing) and chat within email it’s now offerring something you could never even imagine.
Google Postal Services is probably going to be goog’s first offline venture and it would give it’s users assured and speedy delivery of their Gmail. That’s right, you can now get your gmail messages delivered to your doorstep for no charge at all. Here’s how you are gonna use this service, which google calls Gmail Paper.
Select the messages you would like to have a hardcopy of,
and leave the rest to Google, who’ll do the following
Some simple questions that come to my mind about such a service.
- Is it Free?
Here’s what google says, Yes. The cost of postage is offset with the help of relevant, targeted, unobtrusive advertisements, which will appear on the back of your Gmail Paper prints in red, bold, 36 pt Helvetica. No pop-ups, no flashy animations—these are physically impossible in the paper medium.
- How about attchments ?
All part of the deal. Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip. MP3 and WAV files will not be printed. We recommend maintaining copies of your non-paper Gmail in these cases.
- Is there a Limit ?
You can make us print one, one thousand, or one hundred thousand of your emails. It’s whatever seems reasonable to you.
- What about the Environment ?
Not a problem. Gmail Paper is made out of 96% post-consumer organic soybean sputum, and thus, actually helps the environment. For every Gmail Paper we produce, the environment gets incrementally healthier.
It all sounds unbelievable doesn’t it, well with google nothing in this world impossible and everything is free.

Oops did we forget to mention something, Wish You A Happy April Fool’s Day. Although with google there is a chance that this might be true, cause their unlimited email space feature was also released on 1st April which happens to be their anniversary.
