The Rivalry of E-mail Industry
It looks like a great time for E-mail but a lousy time for E-mail applications. Web-based mail has been gaining ground for years, especially since Google revived the concept by launching Gmail five years ago.
These days, many home users never bother to download their E-mail, and the only threat Web mail Sites face comes from other sites: the closed confines of social networks. The most popular among them, Facebook, just gained its 200 millionth member, far more than any one Web-mail service.
In its favor, Web mail offers a simpler setup: You need to know only a user name and a password, without any mysterious mail-server addresses. Once your account is active, you can use it from any Web-connected computer, Web-based mail systems also make it easy to keep a permanent address regardless of your Internet provider. Doing the same with desktop E-mail usually requires paying extra money for a domain name and spending extra time on mail settings.
By contrast, desktop mail programs let you read and compose mail-without an Internet connection and don’t wrap advertisements around your mail. But their most important advantage is their separation of software and service. Because you can use more than one program with one mail service, you can choose an application with the features and interface you like. And because you can also use one mail program with more than one mail service, desktop applications make your mail itself portable; you can back up your messages and take them with you after closing an account.
If desktop mail software programmers had kept pace with Web mail developers, the two camps could have a fairly even fight.
Unfortunately, mail software developers can’t make Internet providers upgrade their mail services, and Interact providers can’t make mail-software developers modify their efforts. Unless that situation somehow changes, Web mail will continue to face few challenges outside of the social networks.
Web mail is supposed to win users from the______.
选项
A、e-mail software
B、Gmail
C、Internet providers
D、social networks
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。由题干中的web mail,win users定位到第二段第一句:网络电子邮件系统唯一需要担心的是来自其他网站的威胁,如封闭的社交化网站。由此可知[D]为正确答案。[A]“电子邮件软件”的确是网络邮件系统的竞争对手,第二段第一句说现在很少有人还在使用邮件软件,故排除;[B]本身就是网络邮件系统之一,故排除;第三段第二句说,有了网络服务商,电子邮件网站的用户可以不受地点限制,这两者不存在竞争关系,故排除[C]。
