GMail Invites....
So the role out of GMail is being done by invitation only. Presumably to stop the rush of a million people trying to register at once and taking down the servers on the first day.
So my question is does anybody have an invite and fancy throwing it the way of a good old DSer like myself???? I notice other forums are swapping GMail invites so i see n reason why we shouldn't too, and in that spirit i can see no reason why other people shouldn't state their case below

Seeing as they're going for £20+ on eBay, I doubt you'll get far

Good point. Its bad enough trying to get a decent address from Hotmail - with the leadup to Gmail it will be impossible to get one.
BTW, one of those e-bay links leads to a site where people are exchanging these invites for free. I would pt my addy down, but it would be only a matter of seconds before a torrent of spam comes rushing into my inbox (unless i set up a new Hotmail hust for it). |

How does it work? Is it that you send an invite to someone then they get a Gmail account and more invites to pass on?
If this is the case if DaysOfYore sends the invite to someone on here, we all get a chance at getting an invite, no? |

Basically I use blogger (run by google) and actually have two accounts, neither of which I need! One is of my real name, the other similar to my nickname here with digital spy.
Of course nobody wants my real name account but I'm willing to give away the daysofyore one! As for invites I don't use my gmail accounts enough to qualify for them I've found out... |

The service is very impressive actually, knocks the hell out of hotmail and co... I'm just looking for a way to activate my invites go you can have a unique address. If I do manage it, I'll have 4 to give away!

Did you just register with blogger to get gmail????
they must be aware of this happening, i reckon they might block new sign ups. On the other hand my GMail is great. |

been trying to get an invite for gmail but no luck yet. Worth trying this new 2gb mail service from www.aventuremail.com an irish company but has 2gb storage with no ads or popups looks quite smart
