I agree with you David that GMAIL4TROOPS is an awesome idea. I plan on giving atleast 75-80% of my invites to them.

It might just be my account... But... are there any other gmailers out there who have not received any invites to pass out lately?

I've only gotten 2 total, but that was awhile ago.

You're not alone. I was wondering the same thing. I haven't gotten any invites for almost a month now. I have been using the account so it's not like it's dormant. I'm wondering what Google is up to. As far as I know Gmail hasn't gone public yet. The one thing I thought of is that they wanted to give out so many accounts to see how the service is and any possible bugs before fully releasing Gmail. We may be thier "guinea pigs".

I have an update I'd like to share. A friend of mine that works in Computer Science mentioned in passing a worm that has targeted Google. This worm works essentially by messing up search engines and targeting them and sites you visit through them and their directories and their links. I don't know if I have the precise info, but that seems to be the gist of it. If anyone noticed that google was running slower, that was the reason. It's altogether possible that it is a potential problem for their email server as well. Just something to keep in mind, someone may have more info.

Yes, there was a worm going around that targeted Google, Lycos, Yahoo and some of their properties, but I "think" it is long gone... Search for "google worm" for more info on it...

I just got my first invitation, after having the account for a month
and a half. It had already been promised, so don't try to finagle it
from me.

I just wanted to let people know that they may be starting to give
them out again, so check your accounts.

_{I'm up to 38 megs of mail now}

I THINK I have an invitation to give away, since a new link saying "Invite ... to Gmail" has just shown up at the bottom of all the e-mail messages I look at.

If you want to be invited, send me an e-mail at gwross@gmail.com. I will respond to the first N requests I receive. (Where N = the number of invitations Gmail lets me send. )

[edit]I have sent my ONE invitation to Eric Rowe.[/edit]
