Everyday, the Internet is becoming more useful to college students. E-mailing family and friends back home, downloading movies and sounds, and sending school projects through the Internet are some tasks that students are able to do through their server.

Even though the Internet has made tasks like these easier, there are still some inconviences that the Internet has also. A new company called e24/7, has fixed these problems.

For example, a Sacramento State student may have a Sac Link account to communicate with teachers, a Hotmail account for the family and a Yahoo account for friends. Usually, students would have to go to three different accounts to check their e-mail. By going to www.e247.com, students are able to open all their accounts at once.

Or, another Sac State student may have a long digital video that he would like to send back to his family, telling them how he?s doing in college.

But his file may be too large and some e-mail services may not be able to send his video. He can with e24/7, which gives 25 megabytes of e-mail attachment space. Just five megabytes of space can hold 30 seconds of digital video.

Another feature of e24/7 are 100 megabytes of storage where one can store up to 20 MP3 files. File sharing is another highlight of e24/7. This enables friends to access files from each other?s accounts.

This site is also free, PC and Mac compatible, and there are no downloads required to run e24/7. Since there are no downloads, one could open his or her account anywhere and access important files that could have been lost in a missing disk or failing laptop computer.

“e24/7 is a perfect service for college students,” said Alison Olin, director of communications for e24/7. “We will reach a widespread demographic market, including the primary target of college students and online entertainment enthusiasts.”

According to the Greenfield Online Survey 2000, about 17 percent of Internet users are college students and one fourth of these college students cannot send or receive their large files because it surpasses their mailbox limit. Also, if the files were small enough to receive, some students do not have enough virtual storage to save the files to.

Soon, e24/7 can be accessed from any wireless device and will have data centers in regional and international locations.

e24/7 Inc., was founded in California in 1999 by Edward C. Yu and his brother, Irving Yu. Edward Yu is a formal international financier and he usually travels to many places throughout Asia.

Trying to ease his frequent flying, Yu wanted to stay connected to his office without having to bring his laptop, files, presentations and CDs. He searched for a service that would be able to help with his traveling.

Yu did not find a service that met his needs, which provoked him to create e24/7.Log on to www.e24/7.com today to set up a free account.
