hehehe.... man, you sill man...

If I had more invites I'd send you one, but oh well, just drop me a line at josephmatt at gmail.com if you want to chat about gmail..... or you can wait till you get invites, invite yourself, and get the account you want! :D

Re: Gmail Accident
 

Wow. Great job, Yan. That's something that I would do...

Re: Gmail Accident
 

But I just got invites today (woah that was freaking quick) so my error is solved. I only had to spend 2 days with that acct :P

Re: Gmail Accident
 

Heh. If I got a gmail invite, I'd sell it on ebay. $40. Stupid webmail..

Re: Gmail Accident
 

Not anymore. Almost everyone now has invites, so there are over 2500 listings on ebay, with most not even breaking $1 as the selling price.

Re: Gmail Accident
 

Any way you could push a gmail invite my way?

I'm actually watching ebay waiting for a cheapy for under a $1 to come through.
^really wants gmail :D

Re: Gmail Accident
 

I'll put you on the list of people who want them from me. The list is a bit long... :p

Re: Gmail Accident
 

Have you guys tried out www.spymac.com?? It's by no means "GMAIL", but it works. If you run it through a program like Outlook or Thunderbird it's perfect. It also seems to be very spam free. A spymac account comes with...

Who ever has a waiting list going, sign me up!

Re: Gmail Accident
 

hehe.. ebay rocks.....

hit me up.... ashleyweed@gmail.com

Re: Gmail Accident
 

I can't believe that 'yanwang' and 'yan.wang' were both taken. It'd seem like 'nickelser' or 'ashleyweed' would be more common. :P

Re: Gmail Accident
 

Who here has a .5tb email account? *raises hand* Oh man, I love running my own server :) My favorite thing is that the server doesn't even need 100% uptime. Most MX servers will try to resend mail for a week or so if it can't get through.

I climbed on the orkut boat pretty early on.. I don't think I'll even bother with gmail. (Although it would have been nice to have had a larger ISP mailbox *looks at the $32 overdraft charge for forgetting to delete mail of the server*) It would take years upon years for me to get even 500mb of email. Remove spam from that and I'd never reach the limit. Neat idea for people who'd actually use it, though. (Email for me is pretty much non-existant outside of spam, 3 email lists, website subscriptions, ebay.. all my communication is done via IRC, AIM or my blog. i<3blogs)
