lately, people have been talking about Gmail. i tried to sign up for it, but apparently, you need an invitation from another Gmail member. What's so great about gmail? Do any of you have gmail? If you do, can you send me an invitation so i can try it out?

I love Gmail, it's a wonderful thing.
I have a blogger account, and I got an invite because I was a blogger member. You might want to consider joining www.blogger.com and maybe you can get an invite? it's on the right side of the page when you log in. |

GMail is just testing it's service currently. I recommend you not sign up for a whole bunch of things with it like newsletters and such, because your email account may just be there temporarily.

In fact it seems to increase little by little. bs............. but I've had this email for so long, and I signed up for a lot important accounts on it, I'm not ready to move on yet

GMail is horrible. They're out to get you.
This isn't a conspiracy thing either. I was suspicious when I got an invite - it was too good to be true. READ THE TERMS OF SERVICE. They can read your mail. Invasion of privacy? No, you agreed to it. |

And I was the person who invited you.

it doesn't freaking matter whether or not they can read your email!!! they don't even know you!! unless you are some criminal or if you do "stuff" (you know what i mean...the C, P, or S words) over the net then you should care...otherr then that i don't know why you would care...

You need 30-50 emails to have 2 invites.
My sister has GMail. It's good, it has 1 GB of space. That's alot. And you can search your mail and collapse and open some replying stuff. So you don't lose track of your conversation. And it's pretty too. By the way, hotmail blocks gmail invites. |

i like gmail.
the return feature is great. i don't really care if they're reading my mail. i don't care about the ads. i'm not discussing illegal stuff. why would i care if google knows that my friends send funny stuff to me. it's 1000MBs, not really quite a GB, but compared to yahoo- 100MB and others- 5, 2, 1 it is really superior if you're not using it to deal drugs or something. |

Well mines up to over 2.5 gigs now, and I honestly dont care if they read my email. Im not putting my social security number in it or anything, so no worries.
Plus, if I archive an email I need later, I can just search it in my email and find it! Its so sweet, I had to use it on a job confirmation once, because I didnt have the confirmation email they wanted me to have. I went online, googled the email, and it turns out I never got one. But yeah! Of course now Ive got 50 invites or something like that. |

Uh, Gmail is awesome, they would only read e-mails if it was a threat,spam or etc.. not personal things unless they're threats or something. They're only doing this to ensure the safety of others.
