Would anyone with a GMail account like to invite this humble web master to join up and get an account for myself.<br /><br />

[Cajun]

know the feeling spankme i trying to get hold of one as well

[duckman]

Ummmm - Do you have to be invited by existing members do ya ??

[Cajun]

yes you do duckman, you get emailed to your gmail account that oyu can invite people once you have used it a bit

[duckman]

And is there anything special about these accounts or are they just that ...Email accounts ?? (I'm not being smart BTW, just curious) :whistle:

[Cajun]

gmail are web based email accounts, with 1gigabyte of space, there is a free little program around that makes it pop3 which is handy, so you can access via any normal email program.

The thing about them is they meant to have good spam, and nice big 1gb space

and rear as hens teeth to get hold of at moment

[Ms Piggy]

I have it but I've never actually used it. I'll check it out when I get home & invite you.

Hmmm...this may be a problem though b/c I can't remember what my user name is for GMail. :blink:

[bungbung]

...The thing about them is they meant to have good spam...

Spam, excellent - sign me up!

[Cajun]

blah i forgot to put protection

good spam protection

Sorted! I've sent you an 'invitation' ;)

[Eddieb]

Scored an account tody for Gmail and have been playing with it. It seems good so far. 1GB of storage etc. The way they treat message threads seems pretty cool too.

Cheers Jim2, Your a legend. :2thumbsup :Punk:

No worries.

How's the bike?

[riffer]

Cheers Jim2, Your a legend. :2thumbsup :Punk: Yup. Second that. I'm now on gmail too. celticno6 naturally.:not:

[SPORK]

Yep, I got a fabled Jim2 GMail account. It looks pretty good, and it isn't as bloated as soemthing like the dreaded Hotmail. I like it how it is easy to mark emails, and how they are treated more like conversations.

Do you know what that pop3 program is called? Do you have a link?

[Hitcher]

LOOL! That would have to be pretty rear! Longer pliers may help...

[Ghost Lemur]

No worries.

How's the bike?

Unfortunately, still broke. Don't know what I'm going to do. One thing is for sure, this nice weather is killing me. I wake up every morning, look outside, cry like a baby and then go and catch the bus. :crybaby:

[MrMelon]

Yeah gmail's pretty sweet. Much nicer interface than any other webmail I've used, and it's pretty snappy.

I've got 6 invites to give away too if anyone wants one.

[Skunk]

I'll take one. I see you've got Viv's old bike, hope you ride it like she did! :msn-wink:

Andrew

[MrMelon]

I'll try to ride it like she did! I'm pretty slow at the moment though!

Sweet, you'll need to mail me. mrmelon at gmail.com and I'll send the invite through.

[gav]

[gav]

Thanks MrMelon :2thumbsup

Seems not everyone is too happy about GMail? Maybe they couldnt get an invite?

[James Deuce]

Interesting one, that one Gav.

There is nothing to stop any ISP storing all emails that travel through it's environs for later perusal by a third party, so it's a bit of a storm in a teacup. If you have an electronic persona, someone is already capable of looking at everything you do on the Inter web thingame.

HAHAHAHAHA :moon:

you ever get the feeling some people are just a bit paranoid?
:killingme
probably the same people that refused to go on the internet 10 years ago! :whocares:

[James Deuce]

Anyone want one?

PM me for an invite.

Regards

Jim

PS PM means sends me a Private Message

[dss3]

G'day, i'd be keen if you've still got a spare one going?

Thanks, Daryl

edit: oops, this was supposed to be a pm!

[jrandom]

He can bring as many into the GMail fold as he pleases.

When they link GMail accounts to a free-as-in-speech, open source IM network, Hotmail is really, really going to be in trouble.

I believe that that will be the next piece of the puzzle once GMAIL is out of Beta. Text IM at least, is in the pipeline.

[Devil]

Anyone know if I can get WAP access to gmail?

HEy ... whatwas that ... :spudwhat: ..

:sunny:

[SPORK]

Yay! I got some more as well. Good ol' Gmail.

[erik]

It was a bloody clever idea of theirs to make gmail accounts invite only.
It makes them seem more special 'cause only people invited can get an account.
Plus invites means gmail users promote gmail as they look for friends to give their invites too.
And when someone is given a gmail invite, because it is in essence a gift, they are kinda under some obligation to show gratitude for the gift and are more likely to try signing up.

I too have some gmail invites if anyone wants one... ;)

[Storm]

Can someone please send one of these 1000 magical mystical invites my way please?

Much obliged :wavey:

[inlinefour]

First 5 who PM me with their current email addy are welcome to them :shutup:

[Blakamin]

[SPORK]

When your and Blakamins are done... I have 39 too!!!

:yeah:

[Fenix]

Another 49 here to give away. Don't let these delicious gmail invites go stale! >.> I think we probably have enough gmail invites to invite the whole of kiwibiker, twice, and still have enough for most of Auckland. They've gone insane with invites. *nods* Completly and totally insane.

[DarkNinja]

Can i plz plz plz have one. it looks so interesting and scrumptous. I just attached a secondary monitor to my computer so i can do two things at once, woot!

Done!
:niceone:

[riffer]

I still have my six new ones I received just before Xmas when I gave the others away. I guess I'm just not giving enough away!

Interesting to note the inclusion finally of POP with gmail - I can now throw away my POP goes the GMail app.

Not too sure of why they want to include an SMTP option - doesn't that create a security issue allowing gmail users to use gmail as an open mail relay server for spam purposes?

[Slingshot]

Can I have one please...

send it to john000001@hotmail.com

Thanks


Couldn't be arsed PMing

Invite sent. :)

[SuperDave]

I've got 5 GMAIL invites if anyone wants a GMAIL account.

PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite. First in, first served.


Strange, I had 4 and now I have 50!

[John]

Strange, I had 4 and now I have 50!
Yes I also have 50, If anyone wants one - just drop me a PM.

[dawnrazor]

This is a general invite to all members here. Gmail is googles own internet based email account (like hotmail). The difference is they give you a shit load of memory, there is no limit on attachment sizes and their spam filters are damn good.
You can't just join up however, you have to be invited by another member, after you have been a member for a short time they give you a number of invites to invite who ever you want, I have exhausted my friends and family and all of them are converts now, but the google folks just gave me another 100 invites, so I thought if anyone here would like an account, I could send them an invite.

Just PM me an email address and I'll send you an invite back, which you just click on the link and follow the instructions and off you go - one top class email account.

PS this is not some scam, there is nothing in it for me, just ask anyone who has heard about gmail, or type gmail in a google search and read what they say about it.

PPS if I do get alot of responses, I might wait a day or so and do a mass invite instead of dribs and drabs, so it might take a day or two to get a reply.

choice

[Mental Trousers]

I've got 100 to give away if anyone wants any.

GMail > hotmail/yahoomail/everything else

[TerminalAddict]

I got 100 too

[Stressfaktor]

cheers, stressfaktor

[Sniper]

Cool, so lets drege up a thread and see how many people want to invite each other?

[Stressfaktor]

thats the one :devil2:

[InDeSkyz]

*shrug*
Have 100 also. pm

[gav]

Hmmm, wonder if ya can flog them off on trade me? :devil2:

[Sniper]

The way these guys are going I suppose you could.

Not only that but if you read your gmail terms and conditions of contract, it states somewhere in there that


Gmail invites may not be publicly advertised on forums, websites, newsletters.......

They rely mainly on word of mouth.
