The world’s largest search engine Google Inc. announced that its Gmail service reached the magic figure of 425 million monthly active users and thereby making it the worlds largest emailing service surpassing Hotmail. For many years, Microsoft’s Hotmail has been the reigning champ among global email services. The Gmail service by Google has been launched in the year 2004 and has been much younger than the other biggies such as Hotmail and Yahoo.

 

Gmail’s growth has been absolutely awesome. In January earlier this year the company claimed to have have 350 million monthly active users on Gmail, based on its own internal data. Today that number stands at 425 million monthly actives, again based on its own data with no third-party confirmation.

 

The web analaytics and research firm comScore on the other hand, reported that Google has way less unique visitors and still gives the edge to Hotmail and Yahoo.

 

ComScore’s latest numbers from May have Hotmail at No. 1 with 325 million unique visitors, Yahoo at No. 2 with 298 million users, and Gmail at No. 3 with 289 million users.
