Gmail Now Third Largest Webmail Service In US


AppScout:

Gmail nabbed the number three spot in the Webmail wars last month, edging past AOL to become the third largest service behind Yahoo and Live Hotmail. The Google-run service racked up 37 million uniques, squeaking past AOL’s 36.4 million, according to comScores numbers.

Gmail still has a little ways to go before it can challenge Windows Live Hotmail’s 47 million, and longer still before achieving Yahoo’s staggering 106 million monthly uniques.

2009 has seen a 25-percent increase for the Google owned site, which finally came out of beta, after five odd years. AOL, conversely, has dropped 22-percent.
