ok, my five are gone :)

/doing my part to share the crappy email fad
 
2004-07-02 09:59:14 AM
k_a_r_i ..... wouldn't still have any left would you?
 
2004-07-02 09:59:15 AM
I want GMail!, Yo qiero G-mailo, Plaktos takunta G-makn!

I've been trying to get it since before they started it. I've been reading about it since there was only conjecture about the technology.

Can someone please help me out? Pahleeeezzz.
 
2004-07-02 10:00:43 AM
All the variations on the word "please" make this thread even funnier than it already is.
 
2004-07-02 10:01:06 AM
I have 2 invites left if anyone wants them.

I'd send them out to the farkers who've said in this thread that they want one, but mine might get there after someone elses does, and it would just be a waste.

Sooo, if you want an invite, e-mail me at killing(dot)puppies at gmail(dot)com.
 
2004-07-02 10:01:21 AM
if anyone is still giving them out, I would be glad to increase your Kharma with the generous gift of a GMail invite. Please send Kharma increasing gift to Adragontattoo at Comcast.net.
 
2004-07-02 10:02:26 AM
If anyone has a spare gmail invite, send a invite my way :) I'll return the favor by sending my invites out over fark.

sorry 0lorin, in 13 minutes they were gone. Who knew everyone wants crappy email just because they tell you that you can only have it if you're special.

truthfully, its pretty similar to yahoo, but with more storage, nothing special
 
2004-07-02 10:03:48 AM
G-Mail? Pretty please? Love you long time?

I don't even bother submitting links anymore..I've found some really good ones, and they either never made it, or were already submitted....and not used. I give up, I don't know what the heck their criteria is when they shoot down what I perceive to be good links and green light every Paris or Britney story that comes down the pipe.

10 gmail invites done and gone to Farkers...
 
2004-07-02 10:11:21 AM
k_a_r_i We want it because it is another one of those small steps in the history of the Internet... or at least it could be.

But I want it to better understand the technology and the psychology behind it.

So, could somebody PLAAYYZZZZ give me an invite.

By the way, Yahoo! stock has fallen 2-1/4 points today -- presumably because of the announcement that MSN has rennovated its search technology.

G-mail, please anybody?

You know, I signed up for updates on the damn gmail thing. I never have gotten the first farking update, but my email spam has just about doubled.

Google, you bastards, I hope you burn* in hell a little for selling off my email address.


*A second degree burn will be sufficiant, thanks!

Hey! Gimme an account, humans!

There was that fark thread, about a week or so ago... to submit your name if you want a gmail invite, or have some to donate. Not digging through the archives, right now, but it's there, and someone will hook you up.

/Farkers take care of their own.

Question for ya...

I haven't had gmail for long, and I'm wondering how to get invites to give away? Do they just magically appear in your inbox, one day? Or do you have to beg the gmail over lords? Just wondering.
 
2004-07-02 10:28:01 AM
You know what would be guaranteed to end the sales and swaps? Ending the false scarcity of Gmail accounts.
 
2004-07-02 10:29:38 AM
if anyone still has one left.

Anyone have an xtra Gmail invite I will take it off yout hands morrisgranet(at)hotmail.com.

pinkpower

My friend and I both received 6 invites. I gave away 5, my friend gave away 4. A couple days later I checked and I had 7 invites (the one left over plus 6 more.) My friend checked and he still only had two. Weird.
 
2004-07-02 10:32:00 AM
pinkpower,

a red link shows up at the top of the page right under the search boxes that says "invite a friend to join gmail" and when you click it, it will tell you how many invites you have. if you have no red link, i assume that means no invites to give. iono
 
2004-07-02 10:34:41 AM
oh..i should prolly tell the masses who are dying for a gmail account how i got mine. was simple really. if you sign up for a blog account at blogger.com (which of course is owned by google) on the sign in page it will tell you that since you are a valued blogger user you can sign up for gmail.

/minor detail i guess i shoulda shared earlier
 
2004-07-02 10:35:48 AM
/ didn't find it hard to get a Gmail account.

Anybody else try doing a GIS for "gmail" and notice the conspicuous lack of results?

Someone can send me a gmail invite and get me out of yahoo hell.
