The recorded URL now redirects offsite — often an acquisition, rebrand, or wind-down; the destination is recorded in the telemetry below. Pulse momentum is positive over 30 days (+1.0).

Gmail's listed URL redirected off its original domain (to https://accounts.google.com/v3/signin/identifier?continue=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&emr=1&followup=https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/&osid=1&passive=1209600&service=mail&flowName=WebLiteSignIn&flowEntry=ServiceLogin&dsh=S1880595882:1787574196200418) when we last probed it on Aug 24, 2026 — we mark it redirected, not dead. Its Pulse Index is 19.6 of 100, built from 2 of 4 observed signal families. Observed footprint: 2 tracked press mentions, 11 functional tags. It sits on the competitive-alternatives graph with 6 linked rivals, so the comparable set below leans on curated edges.

Confidence reflects source and category coherence: curated = an editorially linked alternative; similar = strong functional tag-overlap in the same category; tag-overlap = shared tags only and may be noisy. Overlap is the shared functional-tag ratio (Jaccard) for tag-matched rows. Pulse is the observed-activity index real and 30d Δ its signed month change; a dash means insufficient observed history, never zero.
