What are your thoughts about Gmail (http://gmail.com). Have one? Want one? Couldn't care less?
Personally, I think its a really big step forward for Google, and should completely change the way we handle email. I've got a Gmail account, and I was VERY glad to switch over from hotmail.

I actually won a contest, someone was giving an invite away in their blog. It's quite amazing what some people are willing to trade/pay for one. There's a site: http://gmailswap.com made for exactly that purpose. Gmail is still in a beta testing period, I'm not sure anyone knows quite when Gmail will be public.

Yea, I think that guy who made that site was really smart to have done it. He's probably cashing in big time selling ads and stuff. That site gets massive hits.

Did you buy if on Ebay?
I might have one for sale, would anyone here be interested? I'll make another post if I do, though.

Hmm, why would you buy something when you can get it for free in the near future ?

I have one account. I think it is the best e-mail services out there. It loads fast, and the interface design is good. I haven't ever gotten spam messages, and the e-mail storage space is more than necessary. I think I will use it for sending attachments instead of uploading images on websites. This will save bandwidth. :D
