...and I can't find the old thread. Email me at [my Hatrack username] at gmail.com if you want one.

All right, I sent one out so far...the person who e-mailed me should have gotten one by now. Anyone else? Get 'em while they're hot!

I have four or five, breyerchic04 at gmail dot com
but it looks like it's entirely people with ones to give, and no one wanting any, hopefully someone does.

Agreed. I don't expect to get many replies. The market for accounts seemed to become saturated soon after I got my account. I guess that's why Google hasn't made registration public yet.

The organizational scheme is very nice. When there are several replies bounced back and forth, gmail organizes it as one thread. This is really useful in the PBEM D&D game I'm participating in (the Khadanira campaign) because the emails are all grouped together and I can read them quickly. This is the main advantage of gmail. Also, you can download this nifty little program that automatically notifies you when you get an e-mail. I think it might be from the Firefox rather than the Google people, so if you use IE or Netscape, you might not be able to do this.
The search feature is also very cool. As is the fact that nothing is appended to your e-mails as with Hotmail or Yahoo.

Dang, I'd better check mine. And I'd better start doing something with it where I remember to check it more often.

I want one, someone sent me one a few months ago and I didn't activate it fast enough. Do I have to email you guys or can I just post my email here?

You can submit your extra invites to gmail@isnoop.net and whoever needs invites can request them from there. It's a pretty elegant solution.

I thought the whole concept of invites was to eliminate the idea that anyone who wanted as many addresses as they wanted could sign up as many times as they wanted. But I guess it was only a matter of time.

Wow, I just got rid of all 50 of my invites by submitting them to that site. Google will probably soon send me 50 more, though.

Definitely, I gave away one, my number of invites went down to 49 for two days, now I have 50 again.

Everybody has a hundred. Why don't they let everyone create a new account, it's getting ridiculous this way!

I think I have 98. I haven't been actively inviting folks because I figured anyone that wanted one, got one.
For those still wondering about the benefits, it's really a great interface. They provide you with even MORE space and it's so much less of a pain in the neck than hotmail. Hotmail has too many preliminary pages instead of just taking me to my dang inbox. And gmail seems to actually recognize spam, but that could be an illusion.

Lately gmail has been letting some spam through. Hotmail has actually been doing a pretty good job for me for the last little while. But my hotmail address is everywhere, and only a few individuals have my gmail addie. I don't know how anyone has it, actually, but a steady stream of viagra ads and ebay phishes have been making their way to my gmail spam box.
I'm easy to please--I get a kick out of the little "Hooray, No Spam Here!" message when I delete Spam from the box! ;-)

Hotmail sucks. That's my considered opinion.
The only reason I continue to use it is because I've had several accounts for so long, and it seems like too much trouble to change them and notify everyone on my email lists.
I get more spam in Hotmail than I do in any other of my accounts.
Gmail and Yahoo Mail are much, much better.

I don't get spam in either hotmail - which used to be my primary address - or gmail - which, admittedly I don't use a lot. On yahoo I get a few spams, all having something in common: they end with three-four lines of something unintelligible. Don't know what started them though and they come from different providers so I can't block everything. Fortunately even those are veeeery rare. I'm either lucky or just very careful.
