    GMail Account Invitation

    Hello everyone!

    Before some days, google sent me an email, informing me that my gmail account was created!
    I have now a gmail account but how can i make an invitation to others? Does anyone know anything about it?

    When you log in, you should see a little box on the left somewhere. It looks like it's given everyone 50 invites now.

    I didn't get anywhere near 50! The invite button will just *appear* one day. it did for me. I think it was a few weeks after I first got it.

    WOW. SON OF A GLITCH! That's what I get for forwarding my mail. I stay away for a week, and I have 50! Imagine that! Anyone want to buy a GMAIL account?

    What's GMail?

    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.

    What?!
    Where have you been?
    Can't believe you're been sheltered from the hype.
    GMail is Googles rival to Hotmail.
    Think it comes with a gig of mail space.

    Woof

    Re: GMail Account Invitation

    After a while you might get one, when google decides to let people invite some others.

    Every now and then they just give people invitations. Doubt they'll give any out for a while though, at least until most people have used their existing invitations.

    Re: GMail Account Invitation

    You lose the ones that you have if they give you any more.
    What to do with so many? Oh well, same deal.
    PM me with your name and a valid email address if you want one.

    Re: GMail Account Invitation

    It pops up at seemingly random times. When Google randomly give them out, you might get some, then the box will appear.

    Did they register? I think that's when they go down.
    When are they going to go public, anyways?

    Re: GMail Account Invitation

    Yes! They accepted their invitation and Google sent me 2 emails telling me that they accepted and registered their gmail account and i am sure for this because the invitations are for my brother and my cousin, and i asked them if they created their account and they did! So....what is going on? Did i win more invitations?

    Re: GMail Account Invitation

    Can someone please tell what all the fuss is about GMail?
    Sending invitations for an email adress? When I get emails like that I delete them...complete spam.

    Why are you all soooooo bothered about GMail?

    Hotmail is getting on my bad side. It changed my mp3 into a jpg file, and made it unplayable when my buddy changed it back!

    Sounds like a slick marketing ploy.
