Default Wow...50 Gmail Invites...

Hey,

I was checking my Gmail yesterday and realized that I suddenly have fifty Gmail invites, so if anyone wants an invite, give me a holler!

Well, imagine this. Since I signed up with my gmail account quite a while ago, I've had no spam that I didn't ask for.

So, people can live in a state of paranoia all they want. I've not seen any adverse effects of using gmail.

I honestly think that a lot of people bash google because they are jealous of its success.

Google has a good thing going for it, I see no reason to stop using it, especially considering their services work so well.

nobody has got to me thru my gmail

I'll admit that I listened to the hype in the beginning when gmail was about to come out, but after doing some research of my own and then actually using it, I'm more than happy with gmail

Cool Re: Wow...50 Gmail Invites...

I haven't had any problems with gmail, but I do miss the folders... I'm not so fond of that search thing, especially if I have many regular senders. So now I just use it for 1 on my friends, and I use my yahoo for all the others... Not the way it was intended!

Same goes for MS and other large corporations. People bash them for no reason.

There is a reason: purley jealousy. Usually founded on next to nothing. ::

I haven't used hotmail for years, but have you tried using Gmail's labels? They work pretty much like folders don't they? I find them pretty handy, assign a label and then archive the message. I used it for ebay account stuff, work emails etc.

One thing i would love tho, I used to have a corporate email account where you could give somebody a variation of your email address that would send their incoming mail into a specific folder, rather than your inbox. ie spam.username@domain.com

That was really handy.

You may want to post your e-mail as scorcer (at) gmail (dot) com so a spambot doesn't pick it up...just a suggestion...

50 invites? I don't even know that many people! Can't I just send them all to myself and then morph them all together and get a 51gb account?:D

Thanks for the info, I was wondering if there would be a problem, oh well too late to edit, dammit.

Maybe a MOD could fix that for me,,,
