Gmail anyone?

Hey, when you get invites, then you just invite yourself 6 times and get a free 6gig harddrive. you will get invites with these accounts and it just keeps on growing!!!   . Stuff going with MSN for $20yr and only getting 2gb.

Anyone want gmail

*Raises hand*

How do people get those invites in the firstplace, anyways?

[Yonkey]

Google hands em out to accounts after you've been with them for a while.  Want me to send one to you?

EDIT:  Just sent one to Storm.  

[Storm]

Thanks!!

Google hands em out to accounts after you've been with them for a while.

Ah, but how do you get an account unless you get an invite?

[Yonkey]

No idea, I got invited from someone that got invited, that got invited from someone that got invited, etc.

Does any1 know when G-Mail is going to be officially realeased?      :s

[Jeysie]

Storm: My guess would be that the original accounts were given to Google employees, members of Google's services like Blogger, maybe some high-profile Net journalists, that sorta thing. Dunno for sure, though.

Peace & Luv, Liz

I also thought it was something like that... it's interesting how far it spreaded

Does anybody still have an invite left to give to me It seems it's still not been released to the public thusfar.

[Yonkey]

Sure, I actually still have 50!  Just send me an e-mail so I know what address to send the invite to.

[Raforever]

It says 50 but its probably a lote more. Some of my buddies did a test, sending 100 something invites and after a while it went back to 50  

(it was mayhem but somehow they ended up with a ton of unused gmail accounts and "50" invites in each   )

Ah, there are the invites. I was wondering where they hid them. It says 50 here too.

[GravityMX]

over 14,000 invites here

Plenty to go around

Google has just released it's own IM known as Google Talk!

http://www.google.com/talk

I just got it.... 900k.. no advertising..3 seconds to install....amazing!! 

They say talk is cheap. Google thinks it should be free. Google Talk enables you to call or send instant messages to your friends for freeâ€"anytime, anywhere in the world!

Google Talk is in beta and requires a Gmail username and password....

Could use more features though such as group chat, and file transfers. Not too sure on the quality of the VOIP though...

So far I'm lovin it. How long do we expect this in Beta? 2-3 years?

Hmm, looks as if you've got to give permission if you want someone else to add you to their buddylist here too.
FWIW: If you're using Linux, as I am, that's another reason to use GAIM.
