Hiya all,
For those of you who send to many emails as I do, you might be aware of gmail.. 1 gig of email space!! but the thing is that you can only get a gmail account by invitation from someone who has a gmail account.
I have one, every so often I get a little dialogue box saying.. "invite six friends to gmail"
anyone want one?

flash fire i read that post and apparently according to some good sources that guy was in competition with google as a company aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages ago and since then has been spawning malicious sites trying to ruin their credibility.
Can't be bothered to find the actual post about it, I am far too drunk.
You're gonna have to just take my word for it or ask me when i'm sober.

I too am a proud user of Gmail... I read the information given from the above link and have come to the belief that statistics can show anything you want, two out of three people know that...
And the author can say what ever they want, but if Google hasn't found out about him and do... then he's in alot of trouble with the law himself (And for an author who knows so much about Google and the laws behind the internet, wouldn't he know that abuseing somebody and ruining their credibilaty is aganist the law???).
I can't hear you... I have a banana in my ear.

Some good FAQ's which clarify a lot of the legal points, and discuss the privacy issues for non-subscribers who respond to gmail.
For example:
Written by:
Non-Subscribers Do Not Consent to "Content Extraction." Subscribers consent to "content extraction" and analysis of their e-mail ("We serve highly relevant ads and other information as part of the service using our unique content-targeting technology," according to the privacy policy). But non-subscribers who are e-mailing a Gmail user have not consented, and indeed may not even be aware that their communications are being analyzed or that a profile may being compiled on him or her.

It just seems to me like he's a lone man with an attitude problem, arguing about something pointless.

What's the size limit of an e-mail to a g-mail account?
1 gig of space says to me: "Store all your videos here so people can access them by logging into your account!"
Which is really why I want one. (to take the pressure off my server, and put it onto googles...)
Would some kind person invite me?
