Journal bethanie's Journal: The kindness of strangers... 9

Journal by bethanie on Saturday June 19, 2004 @04:15PM

Well, he's not really a stranger -- but as I've never really "met" turg in person, he is a stranger of a sort.

In any case, I have been remiss in not thanking him for the gmail invite. So thank you, turg, for your generosity. I feel *so* l337 to be among the first of the gmail crowd (well, as first as I care to be, anyway).

I have changed my publicly listed address to the gmail account, and will probably only check Yahoo rarely. As they say down at the phone company (ha! Phones. How quaint!): Please make a note of it.

and signed up, but can't seem to log on from here. I've noticed that problem with about 6-7 websites. I don't know why, but it sure is annoying.

  Damn, I was going to grovel for an invite from you. But if you can't give one out I can grovel anyway. Practice for the person who does send me an invite dontcha know.

        GMail invite sent to your hotmail address. Apparently hotmail's spam filters have been blocking them so let me know if you don't get it -- it appears in my sent mail so I can IM or e-mail you the URL.

I gave you something that I got for free and that I have more of than I have any use for.

What's the deal with the gmail invites?
I know, I could probably find it in a few seconds doing a quick search but then I couldn't display my ignorance.

  Well, gmail accounts are available by invitation only, apparently. A while back, there were people paying actual money for them. Go figure.
  
  Well, now everyone who's gotten an account has a passle of invitations to hand out -- it's like a virus (even more insidious than the adorable bunny one... or whatever it is in your sig). ;-)
  
  It's just the latest "cool" thing to have -- a gmail account. That's all I can figure out.
