If so, let me know. I have four invites to give away courtesy of google. First four who shoot me an email with their email in the body gets 'em.

Have a great night.

what's the advantage of Gmail as opposed to any other e-mail address?

I've heard several people talk about it, but don't get the "hype" over it......

One down, three left. I hope you enjoy the license Greg Coates. Let me know what you think.

Chris, check out http://gmail.google.com for more info on what they're offering.

Part of it is the cool factor. Part of it is their organizational and search functionality. People who normally use yahoo or hotmail accounts would be pretty stoked to upgrade to a spam free gmail account with 1 GB of free email storage.

I only want to give it to folks who would really use it though. If you already have a domain and are pleased with how you control your email, that might be sufficient.

Thanks, Dana! I've been looking for a GMail invite for a long time. Chris, the big deal for computer geeks like me is that it's Google. The 1GB storage space is a big draw too.

I hope you enjoy it Greg! Have a great night.

Heyall, I got a Gmail account a few weeks ago. A more informative description of what it is and what it does can be found here: http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/about.html

I also can help with adding people for those who are interested, in case Dane (suddenly) gets overwhelmed with requests.

What's really wierd is that I have fifty invites:



I don't know how I got them, but both my personal and my photo account have them. Sooo, not to 'one up' you Dane, but:

BOO-YAH!

Actually, and don't quote me on this, I think everyone who's approved gets 50 invites

Isn't there an insurance commercial or car commercial where some celebrity talks about the special treatment they are getting and they are getting the same treatment as everyone else.......


I totally feel like that.

Ooh! ooh! I've been trying to set up an email account with google, but guess what it is only avilable to a special few, ooooooooooooohh!

You all must really be special to have been able to get an email account with them.

Dane I shot you an email. I wanna be special as well!

Megan just switched over to gmail from hotmail for all of her personal stuff and she loves it! Google also just released a "personalization" thing where you can effectively have a google homepage with a bunch of user-defined content on it (gmail inbox preview, news, quotes of the day, weather, movies, etc.). I think it is pretty sweet, however, it wont keep me logged in (probably a beta bug). Aside from that, it's sweet. You can even "grab" the various sections and rearrange them on the page.

...which, incedentally, you can also do with Google News, one of my other favorite Google items (you can arrange the news sections, set how many stories you want to see, create custom sections, etc.). Also, you get stories from all over the world on each item, which is a big plus if you want more than one point of view.

Hey,
Count me in if you have room left on your account. Thanks - Angel

looks like it been awhile since this thread was started.
but anyways i have 100 invites available to give.
just thought i'd toss that out there
if you want one just send me a email/IM and i'll send it to you.

I, too, have a slew of them. Free for the asking.

Instead of just using Gmail, which I have been for a few years now as well as their calendar since it was released. I started using the Google Apps for your Domain. I was having problems with my email with the host I was on, and I had my emails forwarded to my Gmail for availability anywhere, road, phone, etc.

I switched hosts but have still been using the email.

You get 50 accounts and last I checked somewhere around 2.8GB of storage for each account. You can easily set them up and share contacts between all the accounts, as well as a calendar, chat, etc. You can even create a start page for everyone. Might come in handy for some of you with multiple assistants, photographers, and such. I just have the wife and one assistant, but they can login and check the calendar whenever they like. Those of you with multiple domains can set them all up in the same place, one easy location to check your mail.

Just go to www.google.com/a and you can sign up for free. Even with my current host GoDaddy, you have to pay extra for email. It does take a little a minute to switch your MX (Mail Exchange) records over but they have the instructions for most hosts. I have also used this on a handful of other domains and it works great.
