No, I ran out. I actually had to have my mom invite someone for me because I needed another one! I'll let you know when I get more. Sorry I didn't say anything sooner, I'm on vacation, not really checking GC much.

Here's another beggar looking for a Gmail invite. Please PM me if you have one to share. Thanks in advance!

A few of the people that I gave invites to in the past received some invites today. So I wouldn't be surprised if more invites are here soon.

i don't think gmail likes me. it won't give me invites to share.

WCUgirl · #65 06-30-2004, 05:26 PM

Gmail doesn't like me either.

I want to send out invites! Wah!

kappaloo · #66 06-30-2004, 05:36 PM

I have several invites. PM me with the correct info and I'll share. I'll edit this post when they're all gone.

I was supremely confused but have been shown the light.

I'll take an invite if you got one!

Invites seem to have slowed down. Googe recently had a press release where it expressed concern that people were selling accounts on ebay.

GMail is Google's entry into free Web-based e-mail. The big selling point is that is allows for 1 gigabyte of storage space, compared to less than 4 MB for the competition. Considering that many e-mails include attachments containing photos and the like, it's easy to see why you need the space.

If I remember correctly, the only way - currently - to open up a GMail account is to get an invitation from someone who already has a GMail account. The response has been overwhelming, and some crafty individuals have taken to selling some of their invites on eBay, which has slowed down additional invites. (Greedy bastards... they'll sell used toilet paper on eBay if they can get away with it!

Actually, Google is putting a stop to the auctions for $.

Okay, showing my inorance, I am now signed on, but cannot figure how the damn thing works!

Need help.

Is this just an email thing only or is it set like a regular site with other information?

AlphaSigOU · #75 07-04-2004, 07:11 PM

Got mine, thanks Kappaloo!
