"Last week in our Web Faceoff series, we took a look at one of the newest forms of web communication: the Twitter retweet.  This week, though, we've decided to look at one of the oldest: e-mail.\nE-mail has been around in one form or another since the 1960s, before the Internet was even born.  Today, it is the most crucial tool for communication online.  There are thousands of tools for e-mail now, but this week we're specifically pitting desktop e-mail vs. webmail by having you vote between Google Gmail and Microsoft Outlook.\nMicrosoft has dominated e-mail for years.  Hotmail is one of the most popular web e-mail services, while Outlook remains the most popular desktop tool for reading and managing the inbox.  Gmail on the other hand represents the rapid advance of online e-mail technology, which allows you to access your inbox from anywhere in the world.\nWhich do you prefer?  We want to know, so be sure to add your vote in the poll below and let us know what you think of desktop e-mail and Outlook versus Gmail and the advance of webmail in the comments.\n\n\n\nWho would win in a fight: Google Gmail or Microsoft Outlook?(polls)\n\n\n\nWeb Faceoff: Overall Results\nWeek 1:- Mozilla Firefox vs. Google Chrome- WINNER: Firefox, 4600 votes (Chrome: 3310 votes, Tie: 911 votes)\nWeek 2:- Tumblr vs. Posterous- WINNER: Tumblr, 1809 votes (Posterous: 1496 votes, Tie: 256 votes)\nWeek 3:- Pandora vs. Last.fm- WINNER: Last.fm, 1187 votes (Pandora: 1156 votes, Tie: 122 votes)\nWeek 4:- Twitter vs. Facebook- WINNER: Facebook, 2484 votes (Twitter: 2061 votes, Tie: 588 votes)\nWeek 5:- WordPress vs. Typepad- WINNER: WordPress, 2714 votes (Typepad: 267 votes, Tie: 357 votes)\nWeek 6:- Windows 7 vs. Snow Leopard- WINNER: Windows 7, 3632 votes (Snow Leopard: 3278 votes, Tie: 121 votes)\nWeek 7:- TweetDeck vs. Seesmic Desktop- WINNER: TweetDeck, 3294 votes (Seesmic Desktop: 1055 votes, Tie: 260 votes)\nWeek 8: - Microsoft Office vs. Google Docs- WINNER: Microsoft Office, 1365 votes (Google Docs: 994 votes, Tie: 315 votes)\nWeek 9: - Apple iPhone vs. Google Android- WINNER: Google Android, 3323 votes (Apple iPhone: 1494 votes, Tie: 228 votes)\nWeek 10:- AT&amp;T vs. Verizon- WINNER: Verizon, 1161 votes (AT&amp;T: 538 votes, Tie: 118 votes)\nWeek 11:- Google vs. Bing- WINNER: Google, 2180 votes (Bing: 519 votes, Tie: 97 votes)\nWeek 12:- iPod Touch/iPhone vs. Nintendo DS vs. Sony PSP- WINNER: iPod Touch/iPhone, 704 votes (Sony PSP: 639 votes, Nintendo DS: 482 votes, Tie: 108 votes)\nWeek 13:- Digg vs. Reddit vs. StumbleUpon- WINNER: Digg, 14,762 votes (Reddit: 11,466 votes, StumbleUpon: 2507 votes, Tie: 1032 votes)\nWeek 14:- Old versus new Twitter retweets- WINNER: Old style retweets, 1625 votes (New style retweets: 699 votes, Tie: 227 votes)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
