Anyone know when Gmail will go live?
« on: August 01, 2004, 10:56:45 am »
I was just wondering when it will go live as they have been working on it for quite some time.
Only in America .....do we use the word 'politics' to describe the process so well: 'Poli' in Latin meaning 'many' and 'tics' meaning 'bloodsucking creatures'.

I'm not sure, but I hope It's soon. The service I was using died over the weekend, and I can't even Get my old emails from them anymore.

Yep. I was using youvegotpost , But apparently It started erasing accounts, and then the owner was accused of Reading peeps emails . I would have dropped It anyway after finding out about that, But It upsets me quite abit. I had some cool Messages from you guys, and Krolling , etc.

My wife has been using gmail for a while now.  While she wouldn't necessarily use it for personal e-mail (the whole *reading* mail so that it can target ads and all), she has subbed to several SG-1 mailing lists that crank out hundreds of posts a day through gmail.  It works wonders for her.

I don't think she ever had any invites.  If she does I'll see if I can throw them your way.

If you guys know of ny body who can invite me into GMail, please tell them to contact me.  Sure, I could wait for it to go public, but I am impatient and really want to check the service out.  (I have to get out of hotmail)
