Well, I just got a gmail(google) e-mail account.

I'm sure most of you heard about it. They offer 1GB of storage. The service should be made available to everybody for free by the end of the year.

Anyways, IT'S ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !!!

Kicks hotmail's ass ! So much faster and easier to use than Hotmail. It is also much simpler and more intuitive.

I absolutely love it! Finally a great alternative to slow and buggy hotmail which offers only 2MB of storage(though MS plans to increase storage in July in response to Google's offering)

Perks of having Google as a major client I guess...

I thought they were not accepting any new users.

^^ i think the way gmail's beta invite works is every time they want a new wave of beta users, they give out more invites to thier existing users to send to thier friends.

I've got a gmail account too - its some good shit. The speedy web interface with keyboard shortcuts really helps it out, by far the best web interface email ive used.

A few useful Windows programs if you're using gmail:

• I forward all my hotmail to my gmail using a program called "GetMail", availible at: http://www.e-eeasy.com/GetMail.aspx
• A program called "GTray" helps you get to your gmail faster by opening your browser and automatically signing you into Gmail. It only works for Internet Explorer tho. Check it here: http://torrez.us/gtray

oh cool thanks

As far as I know every registered gmail user can send 3 invites to other people.

Google employees can set invites to unlimited number of people.

If you really want gmail account now, invitations are currently sold on ebay for about $10 USD (they are sold by people who have available invites, and not by Google). Surprisingly enough, many people buy invitations instead of waiting for a few months. I read a news story about some 20 year old dude who bought a bulk of invites for $300, and then resold those invites individually making more than $1000.

there is no such thing as a free lunch

google offers 1gb but it always reserves the right to scan your emails for keywords which it can sell to other companies...
