heard of gmail?..read inside

[Nijado]

gmail is a email by google..its awesome..its got 1 gb of storage and you can search instead of sort mail..its amazing and all sorts of things..its got many many many amazing features..to many to list..
anyways the only way to get a account is to be invited..and you only get a invite by luck...i just happen to be lucky and have a invite to give....so if any of you are interested in it ill trade it for 1 month of japanese lessons..you could just email me and teach me how to speak basic japanese...this is a good deal and you wont be sorry..gmail is the greatest!

[Xollence]

Hehe how about hosting your website for you?

[stos289]

Sorry to rain on your parade, but I have some bad news for you. G-Mail by Google is in a testing period right now, and I have read that it will be ready for the public in a couple of weeks. So, I doubt that someone is going to exchange you a beta version of G-Mail for a month of Japanese lessons when they can just wait a couple of weeks for it to come out. It will be completly free and open to the public so there is really no reason for someone to take part in this exchange. Also, if you give your e-mail address to google, you can gain information about G-Mail and how the testing is going. You can do this here (http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/about.html). They actually might give you a free beta account too if they feel its necessary. That pretty much sums up all I have to say

[Mut]

everyone is gonna have gmail soon.

[Nijado]

lol i know everybody is gonna have it and it will be out soon but ur gonna get crappy names if u dont act now

[Tofu #2]

my "friend" says that they read your e-mails to see what kind of ads to put on the page.

There's this kind gotwoot forum user who awhile back was generous and patient enough to send me about three gigs of japanese lessons over aim. If you so desire, I'd be willing to share those lessons with you. I don't want anything in return either. So if I'm logged in whenever you get back, give me a PM if you see this and are interested. Otherwise, leave a message in this thread with an e-mail address if you're comfortable with that. Oh yeah, a friend of mine gave me a g-mail account. I love it already.

[JusDaMan]

I got 3gb of email lol.... free for 3 year =)

[Assertn]

eww.....how often do you guys really use email anyway? im all about IM

all that email seems to get me is spam and viruses (which would be at least a dozen a day)

[PSJ]

whats the point in emails? use an instant messenger prog if you need to talk to someone.... and there are always cellphones.... e mails arent needed anymore you can replace it with several other things.

[Darkflare]

email is like leaving people a note on their desk. its useful when you want the person to get a message or whatnot without seeing them online. also, in groups and such its much easier to just send emails than to add many people to your buddy list. it all depends on what you are doing

[Assertn]

my friends are always online......the equivalent of leaving a note on their desk for me is IMing someone who has an away message up

[PSJ]

yea ppl are pretty much always online so mails arent needed, btw darkflare the song tarzan and jane is done by toy box not aqua i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif why do i know this?

[Darkflare]

i know, it was given to me in the aqua folder but i havent bothered to change it. saw it in a AMV and it stuck so i actually started to listen to it i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[PSJ]

hehe ok... i havent listened to either aqua or toybox for years i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif lol why am i posting about this? sorry for the off topic.

some on topic. come on ppl stop using e mails its all about IM

[iminyourbrain]

i want something faster than email, like voice activated email that can use a headset.

but gmail will be nice when it comes out, and the competition made yahoo give free 100mbs to ppl which is nice

[hiroshi]

You can't replace Email with IM. What the hell are you going to do when you need to send a message to someone living on the other side of the planet? Skip a whole night and wait for them to come on?! Ha!

Also when you log on an IM, you have a whole list of people who will see you and can talk to you. What if you only want to speak to one person, but all of a sudden, lots of ppl start talking to you? Block every single person down to the one you want to talk to? Feh. Give me a break.

IM is ok, but you can't replace email with it. Pretty narrow minded to think everyone is always on all the time.

[PSJ]

yea but to me it seems like you have a pretty boring life if you got pen pals on the other side of the world(as long as they arent rl friends that moved or something) i can replace email with IM since i only use it to chat with my rl friends and one or two internet friends form my country. your second arguement are real bad, just tell the other friend that you are busy or something like that.

[hiroshi]

Meh, it's really annoying to tell like 20 people everytime you logon that you're busy you know? So it isn't such a bad point.

Not everyones relatives live in the same country as you btw.

[JusDaMan]

MSN hotmail is Is going to upgrade their service to 250mb.... (im a user of hotmail) =P

[Darkflare]

some people have learned to live without email but that doesnt mean everyone else has thrown it out. i mean, i leave my away message on all the time so if i dont want to talk to someone i just ignore them and they dont get mad, so not wanting to talk to someone is not an issue for me but i still couldnt do without email.

[badgats]

if i where u guys i would pay for a email account with a small ISP , someone who isnt traceing all your emails for key words i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif

[iminyourbrain]

google's gotta make some loot, i just got a couple accounts, they're tight. they're not tracing, just searching for certain already established keywords to adjust the small text only ads they put up. so far gmail has been fast loading, unlike the server busy notes i get from hotmail

[Darkflare]

for me, gmail been pretty buggy. the servers have sometimes been really slow and sometimes not even work at all. and i dont like how they are obssessed with archinving. sure, they give you 1gb of storage but there is still stuff i would like to delete. it took me like 5 minutes to find out that the delete was under that drop down menu instead of being a button. they need to tweak their interface for sure.

[iminyourbrain]

werks gr8 4 me, deletion is hard to do, mainly since they want to search it, but the extra space is welcome for me

[hiddenpookie]

HAH! Those who say E-mail is useless, are pretti messed up.
without e-mail no paypal
Aim Works, but i gotta wait 3 hours from an old friend of mine to get online cause hes from cal...
with e-mail u cant do alot of stuff especailly if u order stuff online....
or u work at home with a P.C.

G-maill may keep a copy of your e-mails on their servers after you delete them, but it's something that all free e-mail providers do. There's nothing non-standard about what they're doing, and your the privacy of your e-mail isn't anymore in jeopardy with google than it is with any other free e-mail service provider. Take the time to read this: http://gmail.google.com/gmail/help/more.html#data

[Darkflare]

no no its not that they keep it on their server or whatever, doesnt matter to me since im not emailing bomb threats or anything, its just stuff i dont want to keep i would rather have it disappear then just sit somewhere

[Uchiha Barles]

Lo and Behold! You can delete messages! http://gmail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=7401&query=delete&topic=&type=f

[Darkflare]

never said you couldnt, is just the way they have it set up is stupid

[Uchiha Barles]

Oh, I guess I'll go back under a rock now and take me declarations with me. My bad.

[Darkflare]

its ok barles, i love you anyways

[iminyourbrain]

i love all people

except the homeless

[JessiA]

I was supposed to be sent a gmail invitation (one of my friends had 10 invites to give out), but I never got mine. Maybe he screwed up my email address or something (or maybe Yahoo! Mail is blocking out gmail's invites now? o.O). Oh well. I was curious anyway.

I've got Yahoo! and it's pretty fine for me. The ads are flash images, but they're out of the way, so I'm not bothered by the ads as much (there was one point where they used pop-up ads for like a week.. I hated using Yahoo! mail that week...). I was also really happy with the upgrade too, since before it I was like 90% full most of the time.

[iminyourbrain]

i'll give away invitations as i get them, and update this thread. thats how i got mine so why not share i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

yeah both hotmail and yahoo upgraded their junx now, makes me wonder why they didn't do it so much earlier than now. silly 1mb attachment limits

i was just going to use gmail solely but now i guess i'll hang on to these ones too.

[frexeze]

probably what i use email for the most is communication with my university

[Luchio]

It's simple:

-IM is for talking to close relatives (or people you meet in chatrooms/forums)
-E-mail is for the rest (or close relatives who don't have IM)

[iminyourbrain]

its been a while, but i finally got some invites, anyone want one?

[DB_Hunter]

ME ME ME!







PLEASE!

[iminyourbrain]

send me a message w/ email addy

I still have 5 left here...

hey, let me get in on this deal. i'll send you a pm with my prefered gmail address.

[Mut]

shit shit shit

[Souryusen]

I'm interested too, sendin a pm 'inyourbrain.

[Jman]

is it too late to request an invite to one of your gmail accounts?

[mfrieden]

EDIT: removed because of the crap I received

[Jman]

^ um..no thanks.

[Souryusen]

Main Entry: shame·less
Pronunciation: 'shAm-l&s
Function: adjective
1 : having no shame : insensible to disgrace
2 : showing lack of shame : DISGRACEFUL
- shame·less·ly adverb
- shame·less·ness noun

[mfrieden]

disgraceful, eh? lol

I'm just throwing it out there. You ever think about the fact that these invites might be worth something to me? I've got friends and family who'd want 'em (and no, I haven't told them about the invites yet--that would be disgraceful). So I'm not about to just give them out to total stangers on the internet, free of charge. I didn't realize offering a simple trade could be so distasteful. But whatever; admins feel free to delete it if you think best (but the offer still stands).

[JusDaMan]

HEY EVERYONE!.

I got 5 free Gmail accounts to give away... and since none of my friends/family member wants them since they all prefer their original one... I will give them out to you!

All u have to do is sign up for www.freeipods.com
DO NOT REFER ANYONE AT ALL... yea i find it really bad to post some refer thingy in a forum with over 1000 people in it..
then... for no reason at all... Put ur right hand in ur stomache and ur left hand on ur head and rub it 3 times counter clock wise.. then 5 times clock wise
then... for no reason at all again... do 50 push ups 200 sit ups and 500 crunches. after all that jog for 2 miles.

FINALLY PM me with proof that u did it all (say u did it) and ur email address.. (NO YAHOO/HOTMAIL EMAIL ADDYS) and there u go... with in 3-5 seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/months/years/decades/centuries/millenium you will get ur own GMail account!. there u go..


For all who too lazy to read all that... just PM me wif ur email address and i will give it to u lol

[hiddenpookie]

hey everyone i have a few accounts email me and i might pick you sorry if i dont but other family mebers might want them but good luck and send the pm's wif ur e-mail

Wern't hotmail going to upgrade their free accounts too? I know they have upgraded their paid accounts... are they supposed to do the free ones in a few months or something?

Edit: Thanks iminyourbrain for the gmail account, its up and running now i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[Aclypze]

ditto that, i too have one but since im all new to this shit i dont know how to do the invite crap. that and i havent even logged that much in i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[iminyourbrain]

if they give u some invites it will be a red notice on the left of your inbox saying "invite friends", used to be on the top.

No problem for giving out invites, i already gave out ones to peoplle i know that wanted one, and I got mine from someone nice enough to give them out on forums, so i have no problem with it.

i have 4 invites left.

mut@t@, just saw your message and sent i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

Lol a mate of mine invited me but I didn't know what it was so I said no. I'm not that much of a mail person anyway i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif

[Assertn]

how do you get invites for it anyway?

[N-Gage]

Originally posted by: AssertnFailure

i'm probably wrong but invites are usually sent into the junk box if someones sending it to an hotmail account. otherwise it should be in the inbox. (people probably know this already :S)

[Assertn]

no......no........
not "how do you get invites" as in getting an invite to open an account
i mean as in getting invites to give to people

[Kenshiro]

I have a friend who works for google and he offered us gmail acocounts before they went out to the public. I declined because I had heard the rumour that they scan your email text in great detail.

A stupid friend of mine signed up as gangsta@gmail.com in the hope that he can sell it P Diddy for loads of money later on, although I told him it probably wouldnt work. Although, im sure P Diddy would not want gangsta7453@gmail.com or something like that, so who knows.

[N-Gage]

you mean the invite option in the inbox section?
cuz i dont know how to get more invites after using all 6.

lol, well i got and1.basketball@gmail.com and i dont think and1 is gonna send me a email saying they'll buy it off me for this certain amount. plus P Diddy probably just give Gmail money just to have his own personal account without the restrictions

[Mut]

hey, i was wondering if anyone has an extra invite. my bro wants one and if anyone can help we'd appreciate it.

[kAi]

if anyone has a spare invite that they can get me one would be much appreciated...
thanx

[iminyourbrain]

send me private messages with an email address to send the invite to if you guys still need em

If you are looking for japanese lessons look here (http://torrents.theppn.org/summary.php) You can also find a shitload of j/c/k-pop.

[Terracosmo]

Actually after getting invited by 3 different people I accepted the offer from the 4th one just for kicks. And man Gmail owns even for a guy who never checks his hotmail like me. It looks great, works great, is fast... man it's cool.

Here's my gmail if anyone wants to send me hentai... ehrm... talk to me on a cool basis. toki.yo.tomare@gmail.com

[PossiblE]

Well, I just got 6 gmail invites... and all my friends that want one have gotten them already, so anyone need a gmail invite? PM me with your email, and I'll send you one.

[r3n]

ive already got an account now, i still use my hotmail account more cos its linked to messenger, but atleast im the first person to have my name on a Gmail account i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif

[PossiblE]

You can use your gmail account for MSN Messenger... that's what I do.
