GMail – You Interested?

I’ve been using Gmail (Google’s 1gig web-mail alternative to Hotmail and Yahoo type mail servers) for a couple of months now, and I’m liking it more and more everyday. At first, I was unsure if I’d bother with the pain of yet another email address, but I find myself casually switching my email subscriptions, etc., over to my gmail address.

It’s in Beta, still, but seems to work very well for my needs. They are now beginning to add the odd addition here and there to make it even better.

Anyway, they are once again looking for people to help test it, and have granted me a couple of chances to offer the service to my friends.

So, if you’re interested in getting a gmail account (at this early stage, there’s still a good chance you can get the email name you want), post a reply here stating as such.

I’ll only contact the person(s) to whom I’ll send an invitation, so if you don’t hear back from me, don’t take it as a sign that I don’t like you.

    Even though I have absolutely no use for the account, I think it would be cool to have.

    Plus, I’ll make you an extra cool mix at the next cd thing-y meeting.

    Actually, I’m just counting on the fact that I’m the only one that replies.

    Rob… I’m not sure how many accounts that you are allowed to offer, but if you have space I’m interested. I’ve been on their list to get an account, but haven’t heard anything yet.

    Ha. You’re like the cool guy in class now. Or the one guy at the dance with pot! Everybody wants to be your friend.
    I’m scared to change my address now that all my friends & the spammers have it. What’s the major differences that cause you to migrate towards it?

    If you’ve run out of invitations, I have a few left Rob. I’ve been using Gmail for a while too and I’ve completely switched over from hotmail. It’s less frilly and has way more free storage…1000MB, compared to 2MB with hotmail’s free account.
