gmail

ok we were all told that gmail was open if you goto the google.com site but there is no link there yes i am in canada and i clicked the link go to google.com and still no link on the page so i think the gmail invite should be open there are still people that want it

Here is your link...

Google Mail

cowkiller, next time do a search on here and you will find numerous locked gmail threads. Here is the official one. Just PM anyone of those ppl to get an invite if you want.

it is locked
myself i have a gmail account but others that dont sometimes com here looking for one thats hwy ther are so maney topics about it
the link that sb gave me i dont see regster anywere or join or whatever
i think the main gmail topic should be unlocked

It won't be unlocked but I have edited my response. It used to be open to the public and is not anymore. So now I've added the link to the locked thread so that someone can PM anyone in that thread and ask for invites.

I wish Google would just make up their minds as to who gets access to gmail and who dosnt

ok
thanks 613flavah that works i did not like seeing so maney people asking and geting locked

It's still in Beta testing and Google apparently don't have a date set for when it goes public. However, I did read today that they're looking at upping the storage to 2GB.

Surely that was an April Fools Joke, right?

Don't think so. The story is here:

yep they upped it to over 2 gb... funny they made it public then invite only again...

My mailbox is 2053 megs to be exact


Personally I hope it never changes
Think of how many automated signups & what not that were avoided by releasing it the way they did.

It's also a great marketing ploy - make something invite only and unavailable and suddenly everyone wants one. Heck, I've even got one - I must have 15 different email accounts now (and I defo have no need for 1GB storage).

The whole beta thing is just a ploy.
Google just like to use viral marketing instead of actual marketing. Its a lot cheaper.
They tell you its "cool" to have Gmail, then only give a handfull of people the "power" to allow others to also be "cool",, it makes people want it even more.

Same as with the 2 Gigs of storage.
Giving the average user 2 Gigs is like giving a fish a free bicycle. yea its cool, but whats the point?

This is google all over.
They give you something dated and old and trick you into believing its new and revolutionary.

thats true meman, but you have to give them credit. Its working.
