Ummm...can I ask why you felt the need to title this 'too hot to handle'? Because I've had Gmail since the start of the year and I've got 100 invites left to give out...so they aint THAT hot......

When I posted this topic on April 8, 2005, it was really hot. But, today I think there shouldn't be anyone left. So, I update my post and find another request for Gmail. I've send him the invitation. If anyone left, still can request through mail.

I'm really confuzzled. I got my Gmail account by enetring my cell phone # on the registration page. They just text you a confirmation and you have an account. I didn't need an invite or anything. What is the big deal with the invites?

Here's the cell phone linkLink

There is no option for sign up at G-Mail. Only an existing user can invite any other person.

But I was not existing user, and I just signed up with the method I described above. You can see on the link that you don't have to be an existing member. That's why I don't understand the invite stuff.

Okay, here is the deal. The mobil/cell phone thing is ONLY for" U.S." cell phone. You enter your phone# and they text you your code. You don't need to be member or need an invite from any other source.

Okay, so all I did is MSN search for "gmail" and I can sign up for the beta. So I don't see what all the fuss is about having this cell phone code number. I don't see the greatness of "moving" my email to gmail, except for more space.

Nice one...They do track your mail to see what you surf ....But the best thing i like is the file size allowed for swap.

Think about it..

I've had Gmail for awhile now. I don't see what the big deal is. I trust my ISP email and MSN email better than Gmail.

Whereas GMAIL still may have some trust factors, it is Free and it is BETA. Keep the BETA thing in mind. It's just an idea.

I do have about 300 invites to send out for those who would like to experiment with having an account with them.

It's essentially Spam...and not dissimilar to Pyramid...except for the fact they don't even promise you anything when you do their promotion for them....

It's a shitty PR deal that compromises your intellectual 'property'.

But, it's really spam free. The spam guard works exceptionally well. None other than G-mail will provide you a free POP account with such spam guard. I've accounts at fastmail (Outlook supported), yahoo, msn (Outlook supported), operamail, dataone (my ISP provider). But, I'm really satisfied with my G-mail. It's really fast and well-maintained. As under Beta they aren't promising you the security of your account. But, it's evident that they are trying their best to provide you a secure account.

Don't find any security problem so far.
