Gmail -the google mail service

1000 megabytes of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.
If this works it should be most interesting... :)

Yep, I'm looking forward to this. The 1000MB will be perfect for backing up websites.

Woohoo! I just got a gmail invite from Google in my email. I spose I could sell it on ebay and get like $25 for it, but I'll probably end up using it for myself. If only I could decide on what screen name to use. :P

I got the invite cuz I give Google loads of money every month with their adwords program.

Yeah you get to pick your own username. A lot of names are already taken, but there's still some good ones available. I chose to use ****** just cuz I'm mostly gonna be using gmail to do nightly backups of my ***** database. Overall it seems like a pretty good service. The ads on the side dont really bother me and it's got some great features like search.

lol np

it's sent :)

Let me know if you dont get it. People are saying that hotmail blocks a lot of the gmail invites for some reason. If that happens I can just send the text of it to you over a PM or something.

I only ended up getting one invite. You lucky bitch. :P
We were somewhere around Barstow on the edge of the desert when the drugs began to take hold. I remember saying something like “I feel a bit lightheaded; maybe you should drive…” And suddenly there was a terrible roar all around us and the sky was full of what looked like huge bats, all swooping and screeching and diving around the car, which was going about a hundred miles an hour with the top down to Las Vegas. And a voice was screaming: “Holy Jesus! What are these goddamn animals?”

Ummm a link for inviting people just shows up. It takes a few days after opening your account before google gives you any invites though.

My invite link showed up pretty much to the hour of having my account for a week. I only received one. Someone who signed up the following day as me received none. I don't think they are handing them out anymore for the time being. The person I also invited received none.
