What are you talking about?

[Bruce]

I've got 4 to give away too.

gmail is about 1000 times better than hotmail or any other web mail provider. The future is now. And all that.

[AndyP]

Why do we need an invite?

[Bruce]

It's to manage an organic growth process. Rather than just having open slather on opening they gave out invites to a set of early adopters (blogger.com users especially). After a certain amount of use these users get 6 invites to send out. Once these are taken up those users get 6 invites of their own and the original user gets another 6 invites.

It was just to slow the ramp up on their servers so they can monitor it and respond to demand better.

gmail is a prolly a better webmail service, but I really like the fact that with hotmail I can instantly know whenever an email arrives, thanks to msn

So can Gmail, and wont be long before we have Gchat and Ganything.

People desire to get a Gmail account early is to get a better name before they all get used up.

There is a gmail notifier for the google toolbar available as well as an extension for firefox.

I'm not sure of any IM client notifiers for it though as I think AIM and MSN are the tool of the devil

I couldn't live without my IM system at wrok though.

[amanda]

Blakey - did you get my email?

[Ona]

thats news!

ive had a gmail account for a while but hadnt realised there was a notifier, thanks ladies. I use firefox and have the google toolbar on IE if I ever use it, so should be good.

IM (instand messenger?)

[Bruce]

IM (instand messenger?)

Correct.

And I aint no lady

[Ona]

never mind. I thought Bruce was more of a mans name anywho.....

[markTHEblake]

Bruce is definitely a mans name, but there was this other fellow called 'Bruth'............

I still have a couple of gmail invite's left, so if you want one send me a picture to marktheblake@gmail.com

any pic, as long as it makes me laugh or smile.

Nothing disgusting - you should be ashamed of yourself (he knows who he is!)

[andylo]

I have send you somethings from smile to puke... so it wasn't directed to me, right?

[markTHEblake]

You know, I liked it much better when you guys were calling me "The Enforcer".

[markTHEblake]

I have another 10 Gmail invites to give away if anyone wants one.

Send a pic to .. to earn an invite

[Jarro]

what's so damn good about this bloody Gmail anyway ????

[connico]

way to bring up a dead thread...

and its good because we all say so, you get like 2gigs worth of space and it actualy grows slowly. So you never actually have to delete emails.

2. junk mail filter is impressive, it filters all the bad things out, not all but most, 95% for me right now.

3. the email system is really sweet..why?? because emails that are concurrent, ie to the same people are displayed as a conversation...so you can have multiple emails as one entry, thus enabling you to review your entire "convo".

4. gmail has got googletalk or something like that..

[Courty]

For me, it's the fact that it's free, and does mail diversion. So if I change my ISP, I don't have to bugger around telling everyone I have a new POP mail address. I just re-divert my Gmail to the new address.

[Jarro]

ok, thanks ladies

[AndyP]

And labelling emails is better than using folders.
