What is Gmail? Gmail is an online service by google which
lunched on April 1, 2004. Gmail provides users with an account that allows them
to message other users via emails just like Yahoo Mail and Hotmail. In the
beginning Gmail gave users one gigabyte of storage today they offer 15
gigabytes of storage. At the time people were skeptical and thought Gmail was a
prank since they offered one gigabyte of storage in that was big in 2004. Plus
being released on April 1st that would also make people be skeptical
since that’s April fools day. Gmail has done well since its used by businesses
and universities no doubt Gmail is the leading email provider and search engine.

According to https://www.alexa.com/ the top 10 websites
globally are:
1.) Google.com
2.) YouTube.com
3.) Facebook.com
4.) Baidu.com
5.) Wikipedia.org
6.) Reddit.com
7.) Yahoo.com
8.) Google.co.in
9.) Qq.com
10.) Taobao.com
Basically, all these websites are web 2.0. they allow users
to interact with each other and trade information and buy goods. Three of the
top web sites is own by Google. Only one of these sites is a online store from
china which I have never heard of. YouTube, Wikipedia and Reddit are community-based
websites the more people contribute the better it gets. Specifically, YouTube
and Wikipedia they are filled with useful information contributed by many
different people. what makes these sites to be top ten is that they all let
users to share information. You look the top ten by country the United States
Amazon, eBay, Netflix are added on the list. These three sites revolve around
users spending money on goods or watching movies / TV shows online.
Google search or Bing? Today these two are the top search
engines. But which one is better? Personally, I feel like for this debate you
need to understand the history of both companies. Both companies google, and
Microsoft started out the same way, in a garage. There’s no doubt google is one
number one when it comes to an online search engine. According to
gs.statcounter.com google makes up 91.65% of worldwide searches and Bing is
2.71%. Bing is largely different from google because Bing rewards their users
with points. Users can redeem the point for gift cards, donations to charity
and sweepstakes. To earn points, users need to make a Microsoft account and
search on Bing and every time they search something they earn points. Bing has
made it easier for users to earn more points faster like searching one their
mobile device and taking a quick test. At the end both search engines do what
they are meant to do and that is to search online information for you.
