is it live? I signed up to be notified when it went online for the public, and haven't heard anything yet.

so if YOU have gmail, can you invite others to join? Like, maybe people on the cellar?

Google sends the only invitations, the best you can do is attempt to trade or buy someone else's gmail account.

while google is the one officially sending out the invites, they give them to individual users to invite people
I've gotten a couple of invites to give out so far, it seems the more the account is used the more invites you get to send out. |

Just got the invite myself... probably for being an adwords buyer on our behalf. You could figure out what I put at gmail dot com. My main motivation was to preserve the username (undertoad). I dunno how much I'll remember to check it though...

This is the mail service that is going to show ads based on what your messages contain, right?

Yahoo is playing catch up now. They just boosted their mail account size to 100 MB on free accounts.

Maybe it's just shakedown cruise issues, but I'm finding the new, improved, huge mailbox YahooMail to be grindingly slow.

I'm really a huge fan of gmail. I love the thread-style messaging, and it's got all sorts of pretty colors.
I'm hesistant about switching all my addresses over though, because I like using Yahoo's addy book and calendar. *Sigh* I guess it's been overloading though, because none of google's sites are working this morning. Fucking internet ... |
