On Gmail

Hum.
So, a month and a half late, I finally got a Gmail account!
Gmail mini-contests have become a true hype — it’s even getting meme-ish. At PmNet only, there were two (one, two) in the past week, each giving away 5 accounts. Ten account giveaways in one week, for one user! As Patrick says:
It appears that Google is trying to crash the Gmail market by flooding it with invitations. Every time I login to my account, it seems I have more and more invitations at my disposal, and I’m starting to run out of people who would be interested in receiving them. I’m guessing that within a month, everyone who wants an account will have one, while those who really could care less will sign up once the service comes out of beta.
[…]
Even if the bragging rights of owning a Gmail account is slowly losing its luster, it doesn’t mean I’m going to let my invitations go to waste.
Well anyway, I’m glad I finally got my hands on one. I can’t wait to check it out… (Don’t you just hate messages like Gmail is temporarily unavailable. Cross your fingers and try again in a few minutes. We’re sorry for the inconvenience
?)
Update: It works! You can start spamming me now :) mathibus@gmail.com is the place. If you have a Gmail account yourself, please leave your address in the comments (email obfuscator).

you lucky **** :P
is it any good?
I still have invites, and I imagine I’ll be getting more. So if anyone wants, let me know, and you’ll be on the list. :)
ooh add me to that list please J :)
I too got a Gmail account just a few days ago! :D
I WANT Gmail… some day it will happen.
flump (and anyone else who might be interested): I haven’t got any invites yet, but as soon as I have, I’ll surely give them away. Patience is a virtue. :P
Vitaliy: Could I have your Gmail address (hey, that sounds good)?
simonclark@gmail.com
thanks mathibus :P
whoa
so did we all get the gmail accounts at about the same time?
it’s a CONSPIRACY!
i shouldn’t use it!
I searched for sites on google for people giving GMail invites away. I found this site and would LOVE to get an invite. You see, I grew up in a poor neighbourhood in Canada where I had to wear the same Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles track pants to school everyday. Just last year (senior year of high school) my parents gave me a pair of jeans from the Salvation Army to me for my 25th birthday. I can only get free services online because of my low income. I currently have a hotmail account but since my computer is so low on memory (Windows 95 was given from relative) I have to store much of my work on an online source like my hotmail account. As we all know, hotmail does not have much room so I was wondering if I could get something larger, and that is when I stumbled across Gmail and just knew that it would be my savior so if you have an invite, please help a poor man in need.

(please help me, hopefully I have made you laugh with my misfortunes)
yahoo mail has 100mb now
hotmail sucks…
A friend of mine offered me an account a week or so ago. She had 3 to give away. I turned her down, with thanks of course.
Gmail is sweet.
Timmy: That’s a sad story. I hope it’s not real (:???:)… But as I said in comment #6: I haven’t got any invites yet, but as soon as I have, I’ll surely give them away. If you’re really interested, keep an eye on this site.
Lily: Hotmail sucks indeed. 2 megs only? Puh!
I hate Gmail… :roll:
i’ve actually got a gmail account now. and after having my pop accounts for so long, i find web mail very boring.
also i don’t like being forced to allow google to put cookies on my system, so they can track my searches, emails etc. :/
i got gmail, too! :)
btw, i found your site on my friend markku’s. :)
flump: I find it very hard to imagine anyone hating Gmail. I mean, 1 fookin’ gigabyte! I don’t care about the privacy thing. And yes, Gmail is web mail, but it is fast as hell.
