Wtf is a gmail? Do you mean e-mail?

[ompa]

Gmail pwns you. 1000mb of space baby. It's an email service offered by google. It's in Beta right now.

Nerfking- is there any prerequisite or something to get invites? As I have gmail as well...

Hehe, today is the day of Gmail apparently. A gaming forum I visit had people giving out a whole bunch'a invites today , so I snagged one.

[Jangadance]

I have the same problem, Upgrade. Really friggin annoying. And I just KNOW someone is gonna snag my NERFGOD-69@gmail.com name!

[Crankymonky]

I have 6 invites, maybe I should take it myself?

[Cadmond]

You people make me sick. ...

And I really want one.

If you have gmail already, don't be greedy.

What exactly is gmail and what is so special about it?

[VoLT]

Read the posts, boyo.

[BlueSmudge]

whats a gmail invite? does it let you use gmail? how do you get them? if you guys are giving them out, whats it take to get one?

[LDM]

Dammit, this is pissing me off:

A Gmail invite is just how it sounds - an invitation to Gmail. Should you receive one, you can use Gmail. How do you get one? Beg people that have some invites to invite. Should they invite you, the invite will be in your current e-mail.

In the past week Gmail has been giving out invites in sixes.

If you want gmail, just post your current email address here and if someone who has invites likes you, they will send you one and post here that they've taken care of you. If nobody likes you then you're probably out of luck in more ways than one.

If you don't know what gmail is, go here and take a look, mmmkay?

[rawray7]

damn, all these guys have to do is post to get an account. boy, back in my day, i had to draw a picture of my starving family to get one.

[ompa]

God, but that thing was so damn funny.

Are there any requisites for current g-mail users to receive invites? or no? Or is it on the site and I just can't find it?

[N-SQUAD]

Ok I want a gmail address, someone who has invites! PM me if you have one available and will tell you my email address, i prefer not to share it on a forum so i wont get spammed.

Ompa, I have it too. What happens is that when you're a tester long enough, on the left hand side of your Inbox/current window there will be a link saying "New Invite". You click that and you can invite a person of your choice to join the G-Mail beta test. You just type their current e-mail, and boom, instant registration. What's cool is that G-Mail will know your info from your current e-mail account and pre-enter it into the form.

I hear we are getting invites in sixes, very good if you have a crowd of MB-hungry Nerfers begging you for an account. I have 6 invites myself, but I see nobody here that I'd really give one to, so I'll save them for all of my friends.

[ompa]

Alright- just wondering- do you have any idea what's the requisite time that you have to be a tester before you get invites?

Usually within a few weeks you'll see an "Invite x friends to Gmail" link in the left column under the Inbox, Starred, Sent Mail, etc links. I've been getting invites since about a week after I signed up, there've been 4 or 5 batches of them since then.

[Nerfman2222]

I would like one please but I haven't been here for very long so i might not be your first choice. If someone would like to give me one my e-mail adress is joshsports10@aol.com

[ompa]

A week... alright- very much appreciative of the help guys. Sorry to semi-hijack the topic . I'm done now.

~ompa

[Arcanis]

Well, I might as well ask...?

RTSman87@yahoo.com

[IronRhino]

Shit, I'll take one. KFF_IronRhino@hotmail.com

[cxwq]

joshsports10@aol.com

Done.

RTSman87@yahoo.com

Done.

KFF_IronRhino@hotmail.com

Done.



A note of general interest: Many competing email providers (Yahoo for example) stick gmail invites in the spam/junk folder. Nice way to trash the competition. So if I say I sent you one and you don't see it, look there.

Happy Gmailing.

[avatarofanu]

CX, if you have any extra invites, could I possibly ask for one? Thanks much if you can help, but thanks anyway even if you can't.
