Sorry, the snippet says:

The word "driv" in the title, a post by Niniane Wang . It awfully smells like Gdrive or fensei ... ;-) |

<< Here at Google, we're always looking for new ways to improve technology. Sometimes, this means thinking a few steps ahead of what the competition has to offer at the time. When we released Gmail on April Fool's day, 2004, some of you weren't too sure whether to believe us or not: an email client that came with 1 GB of storage.
Today perhaps, you won't believe us again. Instead of 1 GB, you'll get 50 GB – of completely free storage. Google Drive is Google's latest effort to organize the world's information and make it universally accessible to you – the user. Now you can store your vacation photos, your home videos, your text documents, ZIP and EXE files, and anything else really... and access your data from anywhere. And if you do believe us, please sign up for the private Beta invitation today and learn more about the system features in our tour. >>

Thanks to those who played along, like Tony, and congrats to Ionut for discovering it, uhm, like 30 seconds after I posted :D
So let's hope there will be some people left who don't read the comments until here :) |

Awe haha It really did sound like a Google post though... well done. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the next step in Gmail however... I've been anxiously waiting for GDrive since Gmail came out, really. With webmail I wanted webfiles. |
