Gmail, the Google email service we’ve been writing about since, well, it seems like forever, is five years old today. And, as you might expect, we’re planning to write a post or two about the significance of what Gmail has done to the web landscape, how we’re using Gmail now and want to use it in the future, and perhaps a little peek behind the curtains with the Gmail team in Mountain View, CA.

After five years, isn’t it about time it moved from “Beta”?
