It's the new geek trend. If you have one, your e-penis increases.

Wow. Nobody's picked up on that in the year or 18 months since I changed it.

But you do need to remember that I have a 12" 1024x768 display on this powerbook, so I have an excuse: It's impossible to see it otherwise.

Actually, I'm lying. I don't have a powerbook.

I also have 6 invites, if anyone wants one just PM me your e-mail address and I'll probably give you one.

What are the criteria for getting an invitation and not getting one?

Google drip-feeds us the invites that we're allowed to give out to control the number of people in the Gmail beta. A couple of months ago they stopped giving invites out, obviously their beta program had enough members for the time being.

A few days ago, that all changed and just about every member was given 6 invites, or even more. This explains why every forum on the internet has threads similar to this one. We can't even give the damn things away. A month ago, they were being sold on eBay for real money...

/many, many, many edits

There's no need to tell me when I'm right;
I operate on that principle exclusively and with absolute certainty

Yeah, I haven't really used it yet either (had the account a couple of months now).

I should at least send myself some emails to get some action going. Then maybe they'll give me some invites I can share with people. (If there aren't already enough out there as it is.)

I've only had one invite to give away so far (the one you apparently get for joining, because it was the next day). I gave it to my friend DragonSon, though.

I'm a psychosomatic sister running around without a leash.

I think they are just gradually increasing the amount of users so that they can test how the servers and code react to the increased workload.

what´s all this noice about?
hm...
ah, yeah, well, gmail accounts given away!

Interesting, but I already have one .

BTW, how long does it take before I get accounts to give away myself?
I opened my account this week, a friend (from real life, actually) invited me. I suddendly noticed that now that everybody around me knows I have gmail eventually with accounts to give away, I don´t have any trouble borrowing games and DVD:s anymore. Everybody´s soooo nice....
I hope gmail will be beta for three years like news.google.com (it´s still beta, isn't it?). That would mean a small revolution to my social life.

What gmail can do to YOU!

It took quite some time till I got invites to give away. I believe they stopped giving them at some time...
But now they seem to be expanding a lot again...

If you're bored go here or, if the boredom is more serious, here.
