Gmail Invitations Anyone?

[Suhit Gupta]

<div class='os_post_top_link'><a href='http://www.gmail.com' target='_blank'>http://www.gmail.com</a><br /><br /></div>So I checked my Gmail account earlier today and found that there were zillions of invitations waiting there to be sent out. At this point, pretty much everyone I know has an account so I figured I should share the wealth with y'all folk, especially since I am that wonderfully generous guy that you have all come to love. ;-) Anyways, I am willing to give six (6) invitations away to whoever needs it. Post here in this discussion thread to get an invite (include full name and email address). One per customer. FCFS.<br /><br />For those who don't know, Gmail is Google's email service that offers a 1GB email quota and that has a nice and extremely speedy interface with a spam blocker that is supposed to rock. Need I say anymore?!

[piperpilot]

I'll take one.

[dean_shan]

Sure I'd like to try it out. I don't want to post my email here for all the world to see, can I PM you instead?

[Kevin Jackson]

I'll take one.

Thanks!

Thanks!!

[VanHouten]

Forget me, I had another one just come in:) Thanks for the offer though!

[Richard OKane]

Am I number six? :)

[Richard OKane]

YES!!!

That was pretty cool of you, thanks.

For those who want an invitation, there are lots of auctions on eBay and I think you can get one for like $1.

[hoffm11]

I'll take on if you come across any more..

:)

Matt Hoffman

[Kent Pribbernow]

I'll take one..please. :)

[Suhit Gupta]

I did not realize how popular this thread would get. Anyways, I get invitations fairly often so I will try and accomodate the ones I did not get to this time (no guarantees obviously). As for now though, the first 6 people to get their requests in were - Piperpilot, dean_shan, kpjackson, entropy1980, rpokane and Steve1496. In the future, perhaps I should be asking for essays :)

[Daimhin]

I would like to get one if you run across any more invites that you are looking to give away.

[piperpilot]

Thanks for thinking of us loyal DMT readers, Suhit :rock on dude!:

[Suhit Gupta]

Invitations have been sent. One small side note, in order to save you all from getting tons of spam, I have gone back and edited all the posts in thread (only this thread) and removed all the email addresses. This site does get spidered by google so... well, you know the rest.

Enjoy! :)

I'll give away two of my gmail invitations. But, the deal is, somebody has to point me to where I can get a T-mobile sidekick for free or a Sony/Ericson T610 for free (and it can be free after rebates).

[luiskim]

I might be a bit lot right now... but i's really like to know what the invitations are for... :oops:

[cmchavez]

I will take one, Chris Chavez, but I don't know if it is wise to post my email address for the world to see. Any suggestions? :?:

[Richard OKane]

Thanks for the invite...neat service.

Actually, there are several people that have been able to get POP3 to work with Gmail. Search for "Gmail POP3" on (ironically) Google and you will get several hits.

I think it is still in beta and they want to limit the number of people that apply for accounts right now. But I also think that this is a way of discouraging spammers. Currently spammers can just run a script to create tons of hotmail accounts. That won't be the case with gmail, there will be a bit more control because it will be peer moderated.

DEAL. :D

I'd love a gmail account..

Here is a T610 not only FREE, but they PAY you $125 to take it: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0000AGRYX/qid=1087935297/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/104-6204488-0604729?v=glance&s=wireless&n=507846

(costs $175 with $300 in MIRs). Of course you need to sign up for a contract (as with most if not all free phones, especially good ones like this).

Wanna hook me up w/ an invitation? :) :)

EDIT: Removed name and email addres.

If you are still in the giving mood, I could make Ggood Guse of a Gmail account. By the way love the site. Been a PPCThoughts reader for several years. I also met Jason at the Atlanta PPC party a few years ago. Good times.

Thanks,

Dave Byrge

[Tim Williamson]

Almost forgot...if anyone has an extra gMail invitation please PM me! :D

[ctmagnus]

I had two invites, but after t-will's post I only have one left. PM me if you want it!

[David Prahl]

This is starting to sound a lot like GMailSwap.com. :lol:

I have three invitations left (of six), and would be willing to give another one away to a DMT member. But not just to the first person to PM me...

Surprise me! Do something fun! Offer something in trade, even.

[klinux]

I am fresh out but seeing the enthusiastic reaction here I will post when I get more invitations.

I should have sold some before the eBay gmail market crash. You can prob get one for a few bucks now.

[luiskim]

Ok... how can i become a beta subcriber for gmail? and please!!! what is the invitation for?
if anyone got one please send the invitation for me...
Luis Kim is my name
[email protected] is my email address...
thanks...

[David Prahl]

Sorry for not explaining. :oops:
Employees of Google© started giving accounts out to their friends a few months ago. These are called "invitations". After getting an invitatation and having an account for a few days (3 or so), the new person can send out invitations to their friends, which can send out invitations to their friends in a few days...get the idea?

You join the beta program by getting and accepting a G-Mail invitation. It's still a bit buggy, and I've heard that the public will be able to sign up (without invitations) for free starting in October or November this year.

Get it?

Can I get 1 too? Pretty please? :roll:


Sincerest Heartfelt thanks..go on and feel!

Support Digital Media Thoughts!!! Great reviews and insights into new/current products and trends. Talking about staying abreast of times!

[slothdog]

http://gmail4troops.com/ is a good way to put those extra invites to use for a good cause.

Good Afternoon,

I am a mobile professional who has been using both Hotmail and Yahoo for several years, and has yet to get over the size limitations for files and storage. Often I am on a clients site, and have need for information, or files that are within my email account, and I cannot get to them without web based email. Yahoo and Hotmail are far too restrictive.

Please, I need a Gmail account. I would be forever grateful

Could any friend from PPCT camp (or anybody else) please send invitation also to me? thank you very much. Let the Pocket PC gods be at you.

keep in mind that a whole lot of email providers will drop anything that comes from gmail-the grounds are that the adverts are spam. Yes, perhaps free email is the 'wave of the future' currently spamming is not.

[pooja]

I'd love one if anyone else is giving them out!

If people are simply looking for 1GB email accounts, you can also try www.spymac.com (offers POP3/IMAP) and for 2 GB try www.aventuremail.com (very new service, limit of 10,000 new accounts a week)

I read through everything when I got my account and didn't see anything mentioning the sale or trade of invites. Because so many are for sale on Bay and for trade on GMailSwap.com, I'd assume that it is acceptable.

Please let me know if you find otherwise.

[merlin10]

I am really curious about this product and would like to test it.
Thanx.

[roseburl]

I would love a gmail account. I am tired of dealing with yahoo mail. The mail from hell. :lol:

[Russell]

maybe this isn't exaclty a sweet deal, but if someone wants to give up a Tmobile sidekick (I know it sound nuts, but I believe) I will give them two Gmail Accounts. Or, if they can find me one of those for free on the Internet (after rebates will do) or a Sony/Ericson T610 free (after rebates).

Rebates entries only get one Gmail account.

[Suhit Gupta]

Russel,
I don't quite understand what you are asking for. Are you asking for someone to give you a $279 Tmobile Sidekick for 2 Gmail invites? Or a link to a deal where you can find the Sidekick or T610 for $0?

If the former, dude, you realize that one can get Gmail invites for a buck on ebay, right?! And if the later, then what was wrong with arebelspy's response to your post earlier? :?

BTW, hot off the press (http://news.com.com/Hotmail+to+offer+250MB+of+free+storage/2100-1032_3-5245523.html?part=rss&tag=5245523&subj=news.1032.20) - Hotmail is raising the limit of their free mailboxes to 250MB.

Yeah, I wonder when Gmail will fix that. It is somewhat odd that it is incompatible.

Ha, this has really brought the lurkers out of the woodwork. 8) Welcome to you all! (Very nice avatar btw slothdog).

I got my Gmail account last week, but have recieved no invites to hand out yet.

Have a look at the UserFriendly comic here (http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=20040623) for a humorous take on the Gmail phenomenon. :lol:
