Correspondents in San Francisco
FEBRUARY 15, 2006
GOOGLE is testing a service that allows people to customise email accounts with their names or other personal touches.
Students at a community college in Silicon Valley were invited by Gmail product manager Stephanie Hannon to make their own Gmail domain names.
Students at San Jose Community College can customise addresses with their own names, school teams, or other personal touches, Ms Hannon said in an entry in Google's official blog.
"We're testing a new service with the school by hosting Gmail accounts with SJCC domain addresses (like studentAjaguars.sjcc.edu) plus admin tools for efficient account management," she wrote.
Ms Hannon left an invitation for other schools, businesses or organisations to contact Google about crafting their own Gmail domain addresses.
