Free gmail invites (offer)
I have a whole bunch of invites lying around, and I have no more use for them. First 10 ppl who ask will get an invite, if more than 10 ppl want an invite ill give out more later on (it will be easier for me this way if I give them out 10 at a time). For those of you who don’t know what gmail is, it is a beta email which is made by google, it gives you 1 gig of storage and lets you send attachments up to 10 mb in size.
PLEASE remember to leave your email along with your post so I can send you an invite.

beta version, and I still have 50 invitations, so I can give one to almost a 1/4 of the Dl/ul members, or any other jw member
of course you must have in mind that gmail "reads" your emails so it can post ads

yeah they started mailing out invites from their database if you sign up to receive news. That was about a month ago or so. . .

Me too. It's reliable and it automatically filters spam to a seperate folder which is very comfortable. Plus 1GB in space is nice

Anyone who hasn't been able to get Gmail invites about now is the biggest noob in the history of internet.
The service though seems reliable, no problems or complaints here...

I don't know why this turned into a debate about how good or bad gmail is, i just meant to send invites to who ever hasn't received one. w.e who ever wants one just pm me, please remember to leave ur email address along with ur msg.
BTW pimrusis you sent me a pm asking about an invite, do you still want one? because you didn't leave me your email and you haven't replied back to my pm.
any who, take care.

You would do well to research what Google intends for the GMail service.
Quite eye opening.
Ranges from retaining all email ever sent/received (even if you delete it) as well as all contacts and addressees, to making such data available to 3rd parties for data mining and even available to law global law enforcement.
An example of the "power of GMail":
So you send an email to you buddy with a link to your FTP server - and you copy your other buddy... and the RIAA or whom ever wants Google to provide data on regular keyed searches... you end up as part of the search result, including all the people in your address list.
There are many other examples.
Suffice it to say I and many associates have ceased using Gmail.
Just not worth it in the long run - knowing your email data/address lists and other data is up for sale to the highest bidder.
