DSarathy : On Inspirations, Learnings & Reflections

Around December 19 2006, there were complains regarding the auto deletion of contacts & emails in GMail accounts. A couple of few days later, this was confirmed by Google. Though Google cites a small count as the number of people who got affected by this, the actual count may be higher. Till now Google has not updated its users about the cause of the issue. Though the GMail service is still in beta, because of the reputation of Google, the users have trusted it 100% and used it as their primary mail service, without even bothering to take backup of the data. My friend is one of the affected victims of this incident. All his mails got swiped away and he is helpless now.

This is definitely a big blow to the Google users / supporters to realize that even if it is Google, we should be careful and take backup of your data.
