Hooray! You can fill up my GMail account twice as fast!

GMail

Google has just doubled the size of allowed attachments in GMail from 10 MB to 20 MB. Why you might ask? They have some ideas:


Now you can start sharing more of those home videos, large presentations and files you just can't seem to get smaller.

I happen to think that maybe you should think about making those files a bit smaller. Maybe you can send and receive a 10 MB file in GMail, but if your correspondent doesn't have the capacity to receive files of that size, then your files will be going nowhere and none too fast.
