Gmail is no longer desirable

Posted September 3rd, 2004. Filed under Uncategorized

I’ve been having a hard time getting rid of my 6 GMail invites.
What was once almost a status symbol is now owned by everyone.
When asking someone if they want a GMail, they either:
1) Don’t want one
2) Already have one
3) Are in the exact same position as yourself

TomSommer : I never use it, just noticed now that I had 6 invites
@thesaur : I have my own server, so technically I don't _need_ a gmail accounts
@awormus : TomSommer: the more you give, the more they give you... it's a psychological thing
TomSommer : bastards
@awormus : resistance is futile
@thesaur : lol
TomSommer : lol

Since Google are constantly handing out shitloads of invites, one could suspect they were close to releasing gmail to the public.

I must admit I don’t use my gmail for anything :)
If anyone wants a gmail account, let me know and I’ll try and hook you up – I got four invites left.

    Yes! I want one! I actually subscribed, but something went wrong. My intended mailaccount is registered, but I can’t log in. Anyway, I want one so I can see what I’m missing.
    (You helped me out on the serendipity-forum, I posted under ’steenslag’.)

    There are rumors that gmail will NEVER be “public” I think they probably get more people like this then they would if they just opened their doors (I realize that that is probably not true).

    I use mine for testing… nothing else.

    I hate commenting twice on the same topic, but it happened again today. I had 6 invitations, I sent two out, and when I checked again, I still had 6.

    I saw a little perl script today that was called gcp and copied files to and from gmail, looked cool. Didn’t try it.
