Anybody want a Gmail account?

[thumper369]

I have noticed on some of the podcasts I listen to people have started to migrate towards a gmail account for people to send them content or just comments.

I have some invitations I have no plans for so if anyone wants one, Post a reply here in this topic. If you would rather not post the email address you want me to send it to. PM me but still post a reply in this topic so we can keep track of how many are left.

I am going to give away 20. I am including a poll at the top to make quick to see how many are left.

i would put them on ebay and get money for them....cha!

ha... at the beginning of the gmail era, you were able to do that... I seriously doubt that you'd be able to sell them anymore. I still have 2 Gmail accounts that have 100 invites for people. I have also noticed that Google is starting to invite random people from the public. I got a Gmail invitiation when I visited google.com once.

Yeah the latest batch gave 50 invites to every Gmail account so now pretty much anyone can have one that wants one.

I've got plenty to give if anyone ever needs one.

This found on the Gmail site today.

2. How do I sign up? When can I get a Gmail account?

We're currently only offering Gmail as part of a preview release and limited test. We don't have details on when Gmail will be made more widely available, as that depends in part on the results of the test.

True, but I would not feel right about it. :?

as said above they are giving out so many now that even sites that trade Gmail acts have surpluses in the thousands.

lol.. they should just keep it private.. i think it was generating more publicity that way?

[yaz]

you're absolutely right about that, when bibb asked me if i wanted a gmail account, i was like "a what?", anyway, then i heard everyone talking about them...

Yes, absolutely. I was one of the suckers that jumped on Ebay and paid 5 bucks many, many, months ago. because I wanted one. I had no need for it, and really have not used it other than for some storage.

Had it been open to the public I would not have signed up. :roll:

I like gmail a lot. I paid a 'blog-friend' 20 bucks for one. Can any one out-dummy that?

[thumper369]

:twisted:

aw man...

my blog friend was talking about how she got sick and had all these bills. it was half-charity...and it was also like the first couple weeks gmail started.

[yaz]

im glad i waited and got some for free...ha! like i knew what a gmail account was anyway, i don't even use the one i have...

[paul]

definitely--i was kicking myself hard in the *** after that. especially when it was the end of the pay period and I had like 12 dollars in my checking account.

[yaz]

whoa! thats tough to take...

[thumper369]

I thought there would be more interest. I guess that really shows how easy they are to get now. owell, so much for my good deed

[yaz]

i can't believe this post had so many replies...

[thumper369]

Closed. Did not get anyone wanting one of these surprising.

If you see this post and decide you want one I am sure I will have lots, so just PM me and I will get one to you.
