I've been participating in the gmail beta for a couple of months, and I've got a few spare invitations here - five, to be exact.

So here's the deal. If anybody wants or needs a gmail invitation, get ahold of one and I'll give you one. The catch is, once you get some invitations, you have to give a couple of them to other OB'ers. Pay it forward, so to speak.

And one last thing, I'm going to give these out first-come first-served, but only to members with at least ten posts just to make sure that lurkers don't sign up just to swipe a gmail invite from a deserving regular. ;)

So if you want an invite and are willing to share and share alike, go ahead and give me a shout. :)

Oh, all right ... you talked me into it.

Uh, I mean, may I please have one? :sweatface:

Can I have one Status? :) Please? :)

Having read your mini-review of Gmail in another thread I'm taking this opportunity to request for an invite as well. :biggrin:

In return I promise not to foil your DP Maneuver attempts. :rofl:

I've got twelve invites to give out. they just keep coming. MAKE THEM STOP!!! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, TAKE MY INVITES!!!

Can I have a reservation, please. :biggrin:

oh, joy. now I only have eleven more invites to get rid of. what're the odds that it'll suddenly return to twelve by the time I check my mail again? :sweatface:

I think I'll ask from ninjapeps since he sounds more desperate to give them out. :sweatface:

Can I have an invite sent to markpoa (squiggly at) edsamail dot com dot ph? Thanks. :D

Umm, I can't find the other threads, so what actually is Gmail? If it sounds good, reserve me an invite!
(Can anyone in UK join?)

GMail is an email service provided by Google, 1 gig of storage.

jq2k1, snakecharmer, PM me with your first/last name and your current email address and I'll get them sent out straight away.

One other thing I should add (since luckily someone else has spare invites), once you've gotten an invite let us know here so that other people don't send you more. ;)

pls throw a Gmail invite my way, Status!

that was fast. :sweatface:

After Status' invites are finished, I'll be sending mine out too. ;)

Can I get one? :sweatface:

That is, if you guys have any left...

Aside from the 1Gig of storage, what other advantages does GMail have to offer that's different from Yahoo Mail or Hotmail.?

I don't think there's too much of a difference aside from that... e-mail is already relatively "complete" in terms of what you can do with it... I think. :laugh:

Finally got it to work ... had to download Firefox first, my IE is waaaaaaaaay old. :sweatface:

1 Gig, and it records replies to e-mails in a string. You also have a search function for your e-mail, so who cares about sorting it?

So for instance, if you and a friend have an e-mail about "work", and you reply back and forth to one another, all replies will be tallied under one heading, and not in multiple headings, making it easier to track what happened in the conversation of sorts.

for additional OC-ness, you can apply labels to your conversations to make them easier to sort and mark which conversations are important with stars.

oh, and no annoying banner ads. all ads are in text. I don't even notice them most of the time.

Wow...I'm suddenly curious about this service...@_@

I've been on yahoo for the last 7 years...can't imagine having another main email. But since it's google...

Feel free to e-mail me and I'll promptly invite you by tomorrow. :)

I'm sure it'd work out well. Lots of names haven't been taken. If I were a bit faster, I could've gotten Marcelle@gmail.com... darn.

Hmm...interesting.
Does anyone still have any invites?

as per Status' suggestion, would the people who've requested and received invites please post here? it wouldn't be fair if one person suddenly got 5 of these accounts. :sweatface:

I have 11 left. PM me if you want one.

I also have a couple left. :)

Still haven't received that invite, ninjapeps. Is it possible for spam block to block the gmail invites? ???

oh, sorry about that. wasn't sure if someone else had sent you one already. I'll send it right now.

I wanna thank Status for sending me the invite. :ok:

*goes back to setting up own GMail*

Well, I've already used 3 invites, but I still have six more to give to fellow OB'ers...
Its always good to have 1GB of storage space in cyberspace... :biggrin:

Got mine. Thanks to ninjapeps. :biggrin:

Got mine as well thanks to Ninjapeps. Can't find the invites that I can give out though.

Not everybody has invites, its given to you I think. When you have invites, an invite link will appear. I think.

the invites will just suddenly appear above your messages when you look in your inbox.

I've got five invites since some time ago and no one to give them. If any of you want one, please PM me.
Also i happen to support Status' idea of sharing, so i'm going to keep the conditions given in the first post of this thread. I quote them below.

I have 12 invites I am happy so share with anyone, please pm me with your info and i'll send one out.

Kaneda, dude, your website is looking badass these days. Trendy, trendy stuff. ;)

Hey, ninjapeps, could I get one? Please? :biggrin:

Yay! invite meh! you know my email addy. :p

No problem there, madame sky. Here you go! :)

surely. just PM me your email address.

WEEEEE! THANKS!

Thanks just updated, I have so much work to put in my portfolio. I am way behind.

Whoa, Gmail is fast. Just finished typing some mails and after clicking the send button, it immediately took me to my inbox saying your message has been sent. :shocked:

If anyone has any spares, email them to sadame_no_hoshi@hotmail.com please...

Kudos to Status for starting this thread and giving me the invite. :biggrin:

down to seven invites. any more takers? :)

Thanks so very much for the invite ninjapeps! Wheeee! :laugh:

Well, I still have a couple of invites left. Just let me know, if ever. Senseichi can give away some, too. :)

Ninjapeps, strange thing about edsamail: I got the invite only today. :D Thanks. I'm fiddling with it right now...

I'm fully stocked again, if anybody needs one, give a shout. ;)

lol @ Status. Thanks again!

I think mine will be kicking in 2 months. @_@
