There sure is a lot of talk about GMail these days. Especially the hysteria regarding the invites (people selling invites and whatnot). So, is it that good? I haven't been able to try it out yet *hint* *hint*
Telling the world about GMail's 1GB limit on April 1 also made it more hysterical :D When it's public, I want one for sure! I think they'll get tons of users as soon as they open up.
Hopefully it's as slick as google.com is now, then I'm sattisfied.
I've got gmail since late april / may.
The conversation threading they built is quite nice, especially for mailing lists.
I'll probably get some more invites next week, i'll see what i can do 
Edited: link were dead.
Damm they keep surprising me those google dudes.
Hope they got those server ready to go when they go publick with this. Main I have nightmires of server parks that are needed to run a thing like that, 1 GB for every user can u imagen that ?
Sing me up for one of those.
It looks excellent...
They don't need THAT many servers to start with... allocating a user 1gb doesn't use up a GB, just sets a limit for them.
I think they should make gmail invite only.
When hotmail upgrades their storage space to 250mb for a free account i think most users will stay with hotmail. (this month if im correct)
(did i mention that HotMaIL sucks ? )
I actually purchased an invite via EBay ($1.50 :D) last night. I'm at work now though, so I can't check to see if I received anything.

Oh, I though they were MUCH more expensive than that! How many beta-testers do they have?
Edit: Seems to be a lot of accounts for sale: search.ebay.com...
Edit2:Quote from a seller:
This auction is for 1 Google gmail invitation. I've sold 40+ invites already, check my profile for satisfied buyers... I have 100% satisfaction, so bid with confidence.
40 accounts? Don't they just get one account, and one extra to give away? Can gmail-users invite people as they want or how does it work?
I get multiple invites a week.
I've got two accounts wich 1 is an invited one (from myself)
On the "original" account i get like 3-10 invites a week.
Interval between the invites doesn't make any sense to me, i think google just dispatches invites when theyre ready for heavier load (testing and stuff)

Okay, sounds like a probable cause yes... you don't have anyones you don't use, or do you sell your's too? (As in: Could I get one if you're not using it? :D)
hmm beta tester looking for invite 
If anny of you have a invite over.
I know they don't need that meany server when they start but can you imagen what they would need if they have the service running for over a year ?

An interesting idea for using 1Gb of free storage

Well, if i've got a few invites to spare ill post it here, the waiting list is currently 34 people/friends. When those are sent i'll post here.
When that'll be, i don't know. Probably about 6-7 weeks from now.
Oh, another thing: Rickard will probably get about one invite a week. ^^

As I assumed, seems like everyone want's an account :)

Maybe I could give Rickard $1 and get an account from him then ;P
Add me to any list of invites any of you get :up:
I've got 4 invites left at the moment.
Post your email here below and I'll send you a invite.
I knew i wasn't the only one here with gmail
Anyway, you can invite Chacmool, Joey and hcgtv (dont know for sure on that last one.)
They asked in this topic allready. And rickard, unless you want all the people without gmail asking here i think you should put this topic in your robots.txt
Google allready crawled the screenshots on my hosting. (about an hour after i posted here)
