I'm worth nothing!

Yay, $64 (and an introverted verbose veteran)

750 contacts over 7.5 years of friends/acquaintances, family, classmates, professors, and professional correspondence.

I'm at nearly twice (1300) that on Facebook, which I've had for about a year less time.

Just barely edging a couple people out at $2,877. Valuable, old-school, and.. typical? Hmm.

I have a hard time believing that my email is worth that much, but it's a fun exercise.

Mine was like 400. Not sure what I'm doing wrong... I guess not emailing anyone.

I got $1,595.83, surprised it was so low because I thought my Gmail storage (1 GB) was pretty high.

In 2005, I received a crapload of e-mails asking me how to install Reuben Quest, XXR and Zelda: Dark Link Quest, even though all they asked was already answered in the readmes, along with other random e-mails from various community members. For odd reasons, anyone I replied to got added to my contact by default.

No?

He means your results saybecause you entered 4/6/11 instead of 4/6/2011 (cf. http://cemete.ch/p187061), and your score would probably be different if they knew you'd been using Gmail for one year instead of two thousand and one

EDIT: Nope, scratch that. The date makes no difference.

According to Kllrnohj "Everyone you've emailed or chatted with ends up as a contact". I've emailed a lot more than 50 different people since setting up my mailbox, but most of those aren't worth bothering cluttering up my address book with. The same goes for Facebook; I try to keep that down to friends and family.

apparently i'm worth $0.64
/me is doubtful

This guy could feed a country with his gmail

I don't think Google's Storage Options (even paid) gets up to the range he's in, 954 TB (just shy of a Petabyte if I recall).

Tell me something I don't know. I'm glad to see that a lot of other people are making the same year-entry result for me; that's a bit sloppy of their code to not be defensive about that. I agree that their calculation algorithm is flawed, as it doesn't account for the time spent reading and organizing and checking emails. Not to mention that it doesn't account for attachments.

My personal account: $2.64
My personal ticalc.org inbox: $54.27
ticalc.org's main inbox: $0.00 (Just because we have no monetary income Apparently it's almost all based on your yearly income and hardly anything else.)

But yeah, the app is poorly coded. It incorrectly interprets storage values as MB when Google reports them in GB (have they even looked at the GMail UI?), and I see a lack of copyediting in the help balloons. The date parsing, though, is inexcusable. If they can't get any of that right, I don't see how I could trust them enough to be their customer with their backup service or whatever it is they're selling.

I used the calendar icon to mark the start date as the day before and manually changed it to the day I started using GMail so I did get the date right. It's just a habit I've picked up from using fussy school and work web calendars (since they're never as well coded as some public offerings).

As for attachments, doesn't the used storage in your inbox include attachments? Unless, you are referring to number of attachments sent & received. In that case I'd have a bit. I remember using GMail as my "MP3" player in class because it's web interface could play songs. Hahahahahaha, I'd just e-mail MP3's to myself.

Used storage does indeed include attachments sent and received, and they're dividing total storage used by number of messages to calculate average message size. I believe that that's flawed, but as Travis aptly pointed out, there are plenty of flaws here.

lol mine is worth $0.34

You must either use it very infrequently or have an extremely low-paying job...
