Yesterday Google from the blog of the developers of Gmail, reported to reach 425 million monthly active users on its web-mail platform.
The reason for this announcement is to overcome the numbers of Hotmail, the popular email Microsoft has long since shut down 15 candles, unlike Gmail which started its activity in beta until 2004 .
Gmail's growth in recent months is extraordinary; Gmail in January 2012 had 350 million monthly active users today more than 425 million.
These analyzes are from Google's internal data and missing confirmations from third parties in this sense, in fact according to a study by ComScore , things are different, at least for users only "generic" and not monthly;
According to ComScore, Hotmail is in first place with 325 million unique visitors, Yahoo second with 298 million users, Gmail follows with 289 million.
Despite the difference of 100 million users of the data Google and ComScore data (which refer both Microsoft and Yahoo) is not a small thing, one must consider that the ComScore survey does not collect data on a sample of users of smartphones and tablet, which is far from irrelevant.
Moral of the story, Google has probably exaggerated the data, but as they say "the truth lies somewhere in between" and if not now, probably later this year overtaking will occur in earnest.
