Google just refreshed my supply of Gmail invites. I have five to give out, to anyone who wants one. Leave me a comment, and I'll send an invite to you ASAP.
What is Gmail?
Simply put, it is a free web-based email account. It's two main features are 1 gigabyte of mail storage, and improved search capability.
Why do I need to be invited?
Gmail is in a beta period, so access is by invitation only.
Why shouldn't I just wait until Google makes this available to everyone?
Well, say you have a cool email address like coolguy@hotmail.com. If you don't act fast, someone will then register coolguy@gmail.com. Essentially, the quicker you get a Gmail account, the more likely your favorite email address will still be available.
OK, OK. I want one! How can I sign up?
Leave me a comment on this entry. You'll have to leave an email address so I can get an invite to you. My blog uses some (primitive) obfuscation for email addresses, so your address should be safe from spammers.
Update: I am all out of gmail invites. Sorry.
