Gmail turned 1 year old today (Remember this date last year when most of us thought of 1GB storage to be a joke?!?!) and while celebrating its birthday, they did not fail to create a buzz.

Georges Harik, product management director for Gmail, said that, on the first anniversary of the service's launch, some very active users had begun to worry that the 1 gigabyte of storage that had seemed immense a year ago would soon be used up.

"We've had anxiety attacks as a few of the people who have been heavy Gmail users have been coming close to the limit," Harik said. "They've been asking us, 'what are you going to do?'"

The company determined, Harik said, that the right thing to do would be "to keep giving people more space forever."
