Gmail for Software

[gregmills]

I just discovered that over in my Gmail account I have a few invites waiting to be given away. I can't think fo anything I would like more than some cool new PPC software so I'll offer my Gmail invites in trade. You could pick your own account name before Gmail goes public and all the good ones get taken!

Developers, all it would cost you would be a registration code. ;)

If anyone else has a software license they don't use anymore I'd be glad to entertain those offers too.

Private message me and let me know what you've got and we'll see if we can make a deal! You can e-mail me too at greg (at) gregmills (dot) com

I suppose you had better make sure the license is transferable first...

Sure thing Mr. Cedrone!

I can't seem to find it now but I read not long ago that google changed the TOS for invites to disallow trading them for monetary gain, or something to that nature in response to the flood of fleebay resellers. FWIW

[gregmills]

a) I'm not asking for money
b) Nobody's offering any software

I'll go read the TOS though. Thanks.

I'm giving them away freely.. just email me if you want one... it's not right to charge people for them (I have at least 30 spanning across several accounts)

You too, then, are violating their agreement. Here, it says: http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/program_policies_redline.html

"Create multiple accounts"

How righteous of you. You're not supposed to have more than one account smart alec.

These guys would love to discuss extra gmail accounts http://www.gmailswap.com/

Thanks for the post... I registered, made a quick post as to why I would like to have a Gmail account, and bingo! I had three replies within a minute.

I've got my own account now, and if I should be given any extra invites I will surely pass them along!

Why are we supposed to be so excited about Gmail accounts? Seems like all they are is a way for your email to be snooped-upon and for SPAM to be fed right into your eyes.


What did I miss?

There's a lot of hype going on about this "snooping" business. No physical human being actually sits down and reads people's mail (well...at least we wouldn't think so anyway); I doubt they have the resources to do this anyway. The whole "snooping" rumour going around only refers to the fact that a machine scans your email for keywords and delivers personalised ads on the right of each email you send or receive.

Yes I understand the nature of what the snooping is **supposed** to be. Should have made that clear.

Still - assuming there is never ever going to be any sort of privacy breach by the purely electronic snooping ... why on earth would people be queing up to have all these ads added to their email? Haven't we all been yelling as we are buried under an ever-growing avalanch of SPAM over the last year or two? :bangin:

It never ceases to amaze me how people swallow the hype put out by people trying to sell stuff to us. :robot:

Sounds like you're not quite sure how it works.

Go to google and do a search. Do you see any ads on the resulting page(s)? That's what the email looks like. The ads are to the side of the message, much like they're at the side of the search results.

There are no spam messages at all, and in fact, after having all my mail forwarded to gmail (except AOL which doesn't do it), I've seen NO spam at all. The spam folder gets quite busy though, so I do delete it every few days. But I don't get any spam in the mailbox itself.

[SteveHoward999]

I understand how it works, thanks. So far as I am concerned, all adverts are unwanted when I am reading email, so all adverts are SPAM.

Steve

[mrkablooey]

Do you use Google as your search engine?

[SteveHoward999]

Not unless I I have a specific need to search newsgroups and don't already know which newsgroup I should be looking at.

Google is full of adverts. Copernic isn't.

Then Gmail is definitely not for you! :wink:
