GMAIL Invite

[EdwardK]

Hi timwhit,

If you still have any of your GMAIL invites left, can you please give me one?

Thanks mate.
Edward

Hmmmm. I thought Gmail was skimpy, thin-&-light kinda email. Like G-string, you know.

Isn't a G-string thicker than an ordinary string?

 

[timwhit]

I still have a bunch of invites, if anyone wants one.

 

[Clocker]

I have 6 more invites to give out. If interested, post here. FCFS.

[Mercutio]

Might as well. I can be mercutio12345567 if I hurry.

 

[ddrueding]

A good friend of mine is in need of one, it will be his first e-mail account ever. If you have one to spare, please send it to my handle at tweakt.com.

 

[Clocker]

Let me know if you still need them and I'll send them out Wednesday AM. I only have 3 left.

[Mercutio]

Amazingly, I got mercutio1@

So that's not too horrible.
Plus I have a nice 1GB mounted filesystem for my linux machines.

 

[Mercutio]

Thank you to timwhit for the invite as well.

 

[Clocker]

ddrueding or anyone else-

PM me if you still want an invite. I don't want to waste them if you're all set already.

[Jimshady]

I still have 6. I can't even pay people to take them off my hands. msg if you want em

 

[Handruin]

Man...I only got those couple of invites that I gave away, and have not seen any more. You guys have tons of them.

 

[Fushigi]

I've got 6 now. PM me if you want one.

 

[mubs]

Handy, guess they don't love you and me. I ain't got none. But I ain't using me account either.

I haven't used mine to send any email yet. All I did this morning was add some contacts to the address book and a couple of hours later the invites were there. I guess that qualified as 'activity'.

 

[ddrueding]

Thanks Clocker, you rule.

Has anyone else noticed that gmail is kinda slow at peak times? I think they need some more servers.

 

[Clocker]

Thanks Clocker, you rule.

Yep, I was getting a bunch of timeouts earlier today.

 

[Mercutio]

David's picture reminds me of something I saw linked through slashdot.

 

[mubs]

Ahem. Who's who in the pic?

 

[Handruin]

Invites are probably googles way of controlling (or preventing) a mass DoS if they were to go public with no user base established.

 

[Clocker]

LOL. I looked long and hard for that picture.

I just wanted a guy who *rocked* and had the goat horns hand symbol up. I have no idea who they are....

The general consensus is that gmail can be unreliable, with occasional downtime. But it's only beta, so thats acceptable. As for slow, I don't know about that. It's one of the most responsive web-based email interfaces I've used. Then again, high-load in australia doesn't happen at the same time as high-load in America.

And that picture MIGHT be two of the guys from korn.

 

[Pradeep]

I have a few invites too if anyone needs, as soon as I added some contacts I got em.

 

[Pradeep]

So, for the person who has their own domain & unlimited email accounts within that domain, is there any compelling reason to get a GMail account?

What the heck, if anyone has any left over invites, send one to gmail at bakabaka dot com. May as well see if either of my main nicks are still available.

I have my own domain etc, but it's nice to have 1GB of email storage, which is more than my hosting provider gives me for all my domains put together. Plus now I can give one to my mum, who is absolutely hopeless at deleting read mail. No money for hotmail this year around.

 

[ddrueding]

Well I now have another 6 invitations....anyone left?

 

[Fushigi]

Ditto. After getting a few takers, they upped me back to 6.

You can get rid of gmail invites here: gmail@isnoop.net

Here is the web page: http://isnoop.net/gmailomatic.php

Basically it is pooling gmail invites and sending them out.
I can't vouch for the website, I just saw it linked on forevergeek.
[edit] I sent a couple of invites and so far one has been accepted.

 

[Clocker]

I read somewhere that gmail invites where being used for phishing (hope I got that right) so I might not just give them to a site that collects them...

I'll agree with that; I think it spoils part of the point in only offering invites.

 

[Fushigi]

I'm beginning to wonder. I gave away an invite, it got accepted, and now a couple of days later I'm back to 6. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, just realizing the whole 'invite' thing is fast becoming a scam to drum up more users.

I suppose that might even be necessary, too, since most folks, even ITers, that I talk to haven't even heard of Gmail.

 

[Handruin]

I'm telling ya, it's got to be a staged setup so that they don't get as hammered when they open the doors to everyone.

I still haven't received any more invites...odd.

 

[Howell]

David's picture reminds me of something I saw linked through slashdot.

hahaha, That's awsome. Jesus rocks.

 

[miksmi]

gmail decided I am now worthy so I have 6 gmail invites. If the google collective hasn't assimilated you, email me.

Prepare to be assimilated.

 

[Fushigi]

I finally used my first megabyte of space. At this rate, I'll have to actually delete some mail in about 250 years.

And I still have 4 invites if anyone needs one.

 

[Handruin]

Google has not sent me any more invites over the ones I gave away here. Is there any chance I could have one of those invites. I know I already have a gmail account, but I'd like a second one if you have an invite to spare.

 

[Fushigi]

PM me your email address.

 

[sechs]

You need the GmailFS plugin. Turn your Gmail account into remote file storage....

 

[Handruin]

I just got a couple more invites if anyone needs/wants one.
