Any of you folks who do not already have a gmail
account but would like one, please let me know. I have
now somehow managed to accumulated 100
invitations--they're reproducing in my mailbox like
bunnies. Gah!

If you don't know what gmail is, check it out at
http://gmail.google.com If you then want an invitation,
all I need from you is a working email address.

Another one sent.

I'm not going to keep confirming after this, because
it's just a waste of bandwidth. You can assume that if
you make a request here or by email, that your
invitation went out immediately after I received it.

One word of warning: there are some providers who send
these invitations to the spam bin. That's where yahoo
sent mine. So if you don't get your invitation within
twenty-four hours of giving me your email address,
check there, and if it's not swimming with the spam,
email me direct, because something got screwed up.

I actually use gmail as my primary email now, but there's a "feature"
of it I am not sure many know about.

Google scans the text of each email for keywords, and then puts little
ads (clickthrougs) on the side of the screen.

This raises a privacy concern for me...is Google building a database
on me and developing a "profile" based on what it perceives to be
keywords in my emails.

Food for thought before signing up for an account.

Info about Gmail and privacy concerns (not to mention a

Yeah, I use email and recently got a big whopping increase in the
number of free invites I have at my disposal. If anyone wants a free
invite to Google Mail, I'm also willing to shoot one out to you. Just
send me your email address.
