To go along with hooking people up, can somebody host a .gif for me? Size is only 70kb...I have a new avatar but my old website won't let me uplaod anymore.

I figure I could ask here instead of creating a new topic. I'll PM you and get your e-mail so I can send it to you, thanks in advance.

Haoh sign up for a 20megsfree.com site... that's where I host my avatar. I know you can remote link to jpg's and animated jpg's there so I'd assume you can upload and remote link to a gif... worst case scenario you could always convert it.

I assume there's no reason I can't send people things like large video files through gmail, right? I've never had this much space before, so never really considered it.

Can't see why it wouldn't work though.

I wonder how far somebody would really go for a Gmail invite...
Probably not that far. Invites are becoming increasingly easy to come by.

gmailswap.com has a bunch of people offering stuff for acounts, though. Some offers are kinda weird.

1gb capacity..i like it it's nice.

A Google approach to email.
Gmail is an experiment in a new kind of webmail, built on the idea that you should never have to delete mail and you should always be able to find the message you want. The key features are:

Search, don't sort.
Use Google search to find the exact message you want, no matter when it was sent or received.

Don't throw anything away.
1000 megabytes of free storage so you'll never need to delete another message.

Keep it all in context.
Each message is grouped with all its replies and displayed as a conversation.

No pop-up ads. No untargeted banners.
You see only relevant text ads and links to related web pages of interest.

what is the big deal about gmail?? is it really hard to sign up for, lots of upload space? what???

You need to be invited, so it basically became the Internet's latest popularity contest.

DCX said:
It says i have six invitations to give out but i have no clue how to do it...

DCX

Click the link, then enter the name and e-mail address of the person you want to invite.

Yup pretty much(on that note I have one invite left), and now that I understand once you create a filter you can label AND make the email skip the inbox at the same time(archive to that label) I'm really liking gmail MUCH, MUCH more. I see they added an incoming new mail sys tray app as well, it needs some tweaking/options though, such as only display new mail once, etc... but it's beta too so.... add a calendar and the ability to sync all the above with a PDA and I'll be all set.

So the people that get invited and sign up...they also get 6 invites?

I'd like to check this out after reading DCX's reply. It seems a lot better than what Yahoo is offering.

Anybody got an invite they can spare? I will PM you.

The amount of invites, and how many, is determined on what can only be assumed to be a completely random basis. Essentially, gmail members are given the Willy Wonka treatment: You'll get 1 "golden ticket" to give to friends so they can sign up, maybe more, maybe none. They just show up in your account's main menu, no announcement or anything precedes them.

I think it's the more you use it, the more you get. I have two accounts. The one I use often gets a lot of invites. The one I never use has none. So according to that rock solid scientific analysis, the more you use, the more you get.

Okay guys, I'm out of invites, I received quite a few PM's already and they are all sent out.

I've been using GMail for a while now and I do think its one of the best web email clients out there. I love the way the shortcuts are handled and sending emails are really fast.

I can't keep track of who has or doesn't have Gmail in this thread, so... I'll just give my two invites to the next two folks to request them in this thread. If you're one of them, PM me your email address.

EDIT: Okay, the next one. cvkpaladin posted while I was typing ;)

Which is completely invalidated by the fact that I use it nigh-exclusively - have been for months - and I only recently got a mere six invites.

I never realized email-speed as an issue. Yahoo works fine for me.

Maybe it's by volume, I have hundreds of emails in mine, maybe that's it.

Or maybe it's because I stayed at a Holiday Inn?

Geez--I thought everybody on earth already had a Gmail account.

I've got three invites--PM me with first name, last name, and e-mail.

I already got mine from Suerte and it kicks ass. I wanted to forward every email from Hotmail but for some odd reason you can't. Oh well, MS sux.

Why can't you select multiple contacts from the list and send an email to all of them BTW?

Or if you can...well, how?

Might want to disable any pop-up blocking software you have running.
 
I asked DarienA for an invite first. But I thought someone else may have PM him first, so also asked commish as well. Anyway, they both responded. I can send someone the extra link/invite if it's needed.
