I meant to offer some Gmail invites to the group to those interested. I have six or seven available. Just shoot me an email.
Why all the excitement about gmail? What's it got that other e-mail accounts don't?
Exitement due to: 1. You have to be invited to have an account or have a blogger. 2. Being able to get your name if you sign up quickly enought.
Woop Dee Doo!!!
I guess I have better ways to waste my time.
Actually all of the excitement is do to the 1GB storage limit on free mail accounts, being able to "google search" through he text of your e-mails, and having e-mail correspondences threaded for easy viewing.... The "exclusiveness" of having to be invited doesn't hurt the hype, but isn't what caused it. Steve
