For further proof of how Google is taking over the world, take note of Gmail, their wonderful email platform. It’s become the new standard for free email services. Frankly, it’s so good; it’s hard to imagine why you’d need anything else. Many companies are foregoing the purchase of company email accounts through Microsoft Outlook and are using Gmail exclusively.

Some cool features:

• A great notifier which pops up a little window every time you have an email.
• Plenty of storage.
• Incredibly smart storage and sorting options.
• Great searching operations.
• Free IMAP and POP access if you want to route it into another email program like Outlook or Apple Mail.
• A cool starring and custom color labels  system that lets you organize conversations easily.
• Connects with Google Talk, letting you IM and group chat easily.
• It also connects easily to other Google services like Picasa for storing picture albums to share with friends and Google Docs for storing public files.
• A great calendar program, where you can schedule meetings and other events.

In the end, do we really need anything more besides Google? Well, you might need an email fax service, at which point I’d recommend GoFaxer. But otherwise, I think Google’s got us covered.
