Google launches GMail Paper!
April 1st, 2007 , by amitagwlGoogle continues to surprise me. Google launched GMail Paper. You can order print outs of your emails (GMail emails) and Google will post the print outs to you for free! The paper is environmental friendly and the GMail Paper service costs nothing as the cost will be offset by the advertisements on the back.
“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.”
The interesting feature is photo printing.
” Photo attachments are printed on high-quality, glossy photo paper, and secured to your Gmail Paper with a paper clip.”
I am sure the GMail Paper will reduce to a photo printing service for all the GMail users!
Ok, this one is probably April Fool’s joke 
like Google Tisp, but how about something like a fax? It might make sense for business users. I have never used it but it seems TPC Fax is one service that does exactly this.
About a service like GMail Paper, it probably will make some sense as it might attract people using Kodak Gallery or Butterfly photos to start using GMail with the idea of photo printing and thus increasing GMail users and more eye balls for google ads on GMail! The key will be to charge bare minimum to the GMail users for the photo printing costs.
