Sorry folks, I think Phanguye got in there first...

I have a few more promised to friends, but if they don't want them I'll start going down the list...

Peace,

Marc

In that case, I'd like to be fourth in line in case GoRickey pulls a hamstring and the others have to buy a PC just for MSN messaging. Thanks.

Well, I managed to get another 2 invites out to mdc and Gorickey... *really* sorry logic, I know I offered you one by email but at the last minute my big sis claimed it under threats of serious injury! You are first on my list if (when) I get any more...

My work here is done...

Peace,

Marc

I've been on gMail for a bit. I've already handed out my initial 3 invites but the next round will go to some folks here. I'll post back when I get reloaded with invites!
Yeah, about those TPS reports, didn't you get the memo?

So now that I'm a Gmail member, do I automatically get (3) invites? If so, how do I put those to use here?

Lol, not excluded at all, I mentioned green because, well I don't know really! I just meant NN regulars who have amused us all over the years!

Thinking about it, if enough of the invites get propagated back into NN, there may well be quite a few to go around all the usual suspects!

Any I get will be given away here for sure. Unless any more family members get militant on me!

You get 3 after a few days usually, and then some more at random times.

You get a tab to invite at the top of the gmail screen, and it asks for the persons name and email, and then you can send out their 'invite'... they usually then get 3 more invites!

I'd like an invite! Someone hook a brotha* up (my MacNN username @mac.com).

















* Not officially a brotha.

Could someone at least find out if starman is taken so I don't have to worry about this anymore? Not that I'm itching for it, but if it's available, I'd at least like to have it.

Actually, who cares about the invites...

when is this going to become a public beta instead of a private beta? or even... go into production?

if I could wager a bet and base this off of Froogle and Google News... they will never be out of beta.

I don't care so much about an invite... I want to pillage multiple address when it goes live.

It never will if Google catches on to the fact that they could make more money by anonymously selling Gmail invites on eBay than they could from advertising revenue.

If someone would like to give me an invite that would be awesome... I have a fairly commonish screen name that I often go by on some sites... I'd love to be able to snag it on Gmail.

I think you should be OK SC, not that much has already been taken...

I have to confess that I snapped up 'ThePlacidCasual' as well as my real name purely for internet forum use...

Yah, but this is a fairly common word... I probably should have picked something a bit more uncommon. I REALLY hope I can get it... I'll most likely just have to put a prefix infront of it sadly... then again I already have my own @myownsite.com addy that I use...so it's not a huge deal...
