After I registered and open it for the first time I got to see is a fast loading, simple, no messy stuffs

I will suggest for people who want to use just a so called email service. A very simple, user-friendly, fast loading interface, with limited features and very less ads (I show only one ad on right-hand side only when I was checking emails).

Features:

Sending and receiving emails (this is what they are mainly providing for now :p )
Get and make updates from/on Facebook and Twitter
Email filters
Redirect emails
External email
Block senders
Auto-Respond (you can reply with an auto generated email whenever you will receive an email)
Less ads
Address book
1 GB email storage and increasing (this is what wrote in their email)
Send and receive attachments of up to 20MB
Queuing Attachments so you can upload conveniently in the background (I didn’t get what they are trying to say in this if any one of you understood please comment me below)
Auto logout (if you are not using mail.India.com for few minutes your account will automatically get logout)
Access your emails on the go (you can also use it from any mobile phone which can have access to internet)

Till now I found just one drawback is after I registered I didn’t got any confirmation email on my secondary email address and they don’t even send any confirmation email even if you change your password using forget password option.

Over all I found it a good, do comment below by telling what you think about it.

Now coming to the point I am writing this post is, as I announce last week that my blog have completed its 6 months and now have started accepting guest post also and today I am going to give a giveaway type of to all of you. In giveaway I will be giving an Invite to Quora.

Quora was founded in April 2009 by Adam D’Angelo, who was previously CTO and VP of engineering at Facebook, and Charlie Cheever, who led Facebook Connect and Facebook Platform. Quora is privately held and funded by Benchmark Capital, and is based in Palo Alto, CA.

It is a collection of questions and answers. You can add, created, edited, and organized questions and answers. You can also categorize questions by adding topics to them, summarize answers on a question page, and edit any question or summary. Duplicate questions and topics are unified so that the content on the site keeps getting better instead of getting fragmented. Users can follow questions, topics and people, which create a stream of relevant questions and answers for each user. The site is closely monitored and maintained by its users so the quality of questions and answers stays high.

Founder and CEO Adam D’Angelo said:

“Our belief is that more than 90% of the information people want to know is still not available on the web in a format that’s easy for them to quickly understand,”

“People really want to share their knowledge with others, and we’re building a system for everyone to do that much more easily and efficiently than they have ever been able to.”

So if you want to have the invitation of Quora just make a comment below with the reason why you want this Invitation. And don’t forget to give your correct email ID at the place of Mail (your email ID will not be published) so I can send you invitation on that.
