Googlemail to become Gmail For UK users
British e-mail users with Google accounts are now able to change the end of their addresses from @googlemail.com to @gmail.com.
A five year trademark dispute meant that Google was not allowed to use the name Gmail in the UK.
In 2005 a company called Independent International Investment Research claimed it had used “Gmail” first.
Google claimed at the time that the settlement IIR asked for was “exorbitant” and dropped the name.
Within a year of launching the free e-mail service in the UK, Gmail became Google Mail.
While early adopters received a gmail.com address, all subsequent new accounts were given the suffix googlemail.com.
“Since ‘gmail’ is 50% fewer characters than ‘googlemail’ we estimate this name change will save approximately 60 million keystrokes a day,” wrote software engineer Greg Bullock on Google’s Gmail blog.

Just buying an insurance policy does not mean you are certain to get a payout if something goes awry as many people find to their cost each year.
Tens of thousands of holidaymakers who battled the odds to get back into Britain following the volcano eruption in Iceland, may find themselves out of pocket when they come to make a claim on their insurance . Some insurance companies refused to pay out, saying travellers would not have been covered under their policies.
A spokesman for the Association of British Insurers (ABI) said: “When it comes to insurance, you get what you pay for. Unfortunately, if you bought an off-the-peg insurance policy, it is not going to cover you for everything.”

Read MoreGoogle and page load speed – what’s it all about?
If you keep up to date with the goings on in the SEO world you will have read about Google’s recent announcement regarding their inclusion of page load times in to their search ranking factors. With a lot of companies jumping on the bandwagon to use this to sell their services I wanted to address what this means to your website and what you can do to make improvements.
The full announcement from Google can be found here is well worth a readhttp://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2010/04/using-site-speed-in-web-search-ranking.html. In summary the key points to take home are:
- Site speed reflects how quickly a website responds to web requests
- While site speed is a new signal, it doesn’t carry as much weight as the relevance of a page
- Currently, fewer than 1% of search queries are affected by the site speed signal in our implementation and the signal for site speed only applies for visitors searching in English on Google.com at this point
