Ah hah! I’m not crazy.
Earlier today I tweeted that my Gmail storage space had increased to 9030MB as seen below.
I tried two computers and tried disabling plugins. No dice.
Just a moment ago, this post from the official Google blog rolled in.
So now it makes sense. You see, before I got all flickr’d, I paid $25 for 6GB of storage on Picasa Web Albums. That is the one program I would love to have for the mac, partly because of its tight integration with Picasa web albums. Yes I have the uploader for iPhoto, and I already ordered my copy of iLife 08.
Anyway, it looks like I am sharing the free space from Picasa Web Albums with my Gmail account. The numbers shown here are not accurate, which tells me they are still rolling out the updates.
Mystery solved, and I broke it quick tweet style.
