I couldn’t help but notice that number of invites I have for Gmail accounts recently doubled in number. Most of the time it sits around the 50 mark, but the other day it jumped to 100. So if any you folks want a Gmail account then all you need to do is ask and provide an email address for me to mail it to. Don’t know if there’s that many people still looking to get into Gmail, but here’s your chance if you are.

Send me one over as well. Unlikely that I’ll switch, as I am very happy with yahoo, but I’d like to see if its good anyway. Thanks.

Les, could you send me a Gmail invitation? Thanks for your assistance.
Ed.
Well I have a gmail account now. I understood the GoogleTalk has a text messenging application, no? That is the feature I want. YIM has those annoying smilies and I just… can’t… install… anything from AOL (gag!) The Google app looked pretty clean.

Hmm. Okay, I’ll bite. Is gmail something just for cell phones or is it a net based email system?
It’s web based email with around 2GB of storage. Plus it lets you use the new Google Talk IM client. The only reason you’d need a cell phone is to sign up without an invite by sending an SMS message.

Ah, okay. I’d be happy to have and invite then, if you don’t mind. My yahoo mail account has been a spam magnet for ages now.

Be prepared for a never-ending streams of comments to this post, Les. I’ve been making such a post this february, and it still generates a steady stream of comments from people who want an invitation 
By the way, Google keeps refreshing the invitations in regular intervals, so they won’t really be near 0 or so in the foreseeable future either 
Oh trust me, I’ve done this before and some of the really old threads still get the occasional response so I stopped doing it for awhile. But with 100 invites I figure I can put up with the late comers for a bit.

OK, I’ll finally break down. Could you send me an invitation for a Gmail account? Thanks.

i’ll bite
Done. Funny thing. I was down to 95 invites before your request came in and when I went to send yours I was already back up to 100.
I use Gmail and have tons of invites as well, but for an interesting read about Gmail from a privacy-concern perspective, read here: http://www.gmail-is-too-creepy.com/
I’ve read it. We had that discussion way back when Gmail first hit the scene. I still maintain that they’re no worse off than using services like Hotmail or Yahoo Mail.

Maybe this isn’t the right thread for this question, but could someone give a quick rundown on the benefits of gmail compared to, say, hotmail?

Hey Les - can you please send me an invite? Thanks

Hi! I want to have a gmail account. Please send me an invite. Thanks =)

I have to admit, I never used Hotmail myself, simply because it’s Microsoft (and, back when I could have used it, only provided 5 or 10 MB space and didn’t have POP3 access). Apart from that…
Gmail:
- 2570 MB space and growing (faster than my archive, which is currently at 280 MB)
- great spam filter (better than any other I’ve seen, including desktop spam filters)
- intuitive interface
- unobstrusive ads
- doesn’t delete messages
Hotmail:
- 250 MB space
- mediocre spam filter
- clumbersome interface
- MSN all over the place
- deletes messages after a few months
Basically, Gmail is easier to use (as in, faster) and has more useful features than any other mail service. IMHO, Hotmail sucks anyway, better use GMX or Yahoo if not Gmail, but I see no reason why we shouldn’t feed the giant here…
