I did some research and it turns out that, to be on the ground floor, one must be invited by a presant member of the GMail community (much like ORKut)... The differance between Gmail and ORKut is that people are less abpt to invite you to GMail as there is a limit on the invites they can send per month... Well; I got myself a Gmail account last month by selling my soul (not really, although there are many offers for that on GMail Swap; I just agreed to take some photos of a lady and her son at the Oregon Japanese Gardens). Well; I got on today to the sight of "Invite your friends to GMail!"... My first three invites go to: Drak; Have to kiss [censored] to my boss/host... IceMyst; If I didn't she'd hold out on me more than what she already does... Weeve; it was going to go to Ghost, but due to the obvious issues earlier this month it got grandfathered to the #4 person  ... I may have some more invites by the end of the month; so if you'd like to make any offers on what i get for inviting you; go for it... Or anyone interested in GMail/ORKut feel free to post (I'll give out ORKut invites for free BTW). For note; ORKut is the Google Partner site that's an invite only community which has a few million discussion topids; think of it as a huge bulletin board... So, on with the shizat... | | |

Infinite you've never used gmail have you? google will never exploit any personal email. EVER. You really think a company that is about to go IPO would face 10's of thousand of class action law suits? Trust me, they don't give a rats [censored] what you are doing. you can delete your emails, it's frowned upon because archiving > deleting..but you can delete them. third: not a single person will EVER read your emails on gmail. It's computerized to search for keywords. Again they can't and won't exploit that [censored]. They've said this many time. about the ads, I didn't even notice the adds in my emails till someone mentioned that they are doing it. THey are small, very subtle and not annoying. while we might not be thinking "ourselves" it's a lot better then talking out the [censored] like you are doing without any knowledge of what gmail REALLY IS. They have plenty of agreements which states they will do exactly the opposite of what you just said...of course, you wouldn't know this because you are quick to jump to a hasty conclusion. All it does is make you look very ignorant. Lets take a closer look at this. We are the media puppets by trying a email service offered by google that is invite only. You are spouting out false claims from what you've HEARD IN THE MEDIA. do you have no sense of logic? You sound... nevermind I don't want to get banned gmail is a very nice email service. the layout is designed about as good as the TiVo interface (which is excellent). The VB keyboard shortcuts are impressive as hell & the overall service is faster than anything yahoo will ever be able to come up with. | | | | Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 364 UGN News Staff | UGN News Staff Joined: Oct 2002 Posts: 364 | http://www.youvegotpost.com/ It's like GMail, only they give you a terabyte of storage.

InfiniteI've had it for a few days, I can delete items just fine; however they prefer that you archive it so that you can find it later. The only search I see is to search your own mailbox; I've yet to get into another mailbox. I don't have ANY ad's at all on my pages. If they decide to have ad's it'll be the google text ad's, see the bottom of our forum... Originally posted by spanky: I will give you my wife. heh. Just what everyone needs, their own crack whore...

I was just going to lie about my info anyway Wanna see something about spam? Look in off topic at the "stickied post" "spam" lol.... I outline how much spam i get every month; it's always over 10k.
