Official FG Gmail invite exchange

Postby nullpointer » Wed Jun 16, 2004 12:47 pm

I have been using GMail for over two months right now, and let me tell you, it blows the competetion away.

The sheer joy of using GMail compared to Yahoo or Hotmail cannot be explained, you have to experience it for yourself. Don't believe me? I have a spare GMail Invite right now. Tell me if you want it and I will send it to you.

A shy FG PM'd me and I sent the Invite out already.

Yes, I was the first to reply. It looks like it pays not to have a life. No need to email nullpointer for this. Thanks again!

What are Google's plans for scanning Gmail message text to better target adverts?
Didn't like the sound of that...

Gmail invites

Postby Lupine smile » Thu Jun 17, 2004 6:59 am

Sorry guys all invites have now been taken.

I have tried to be fair and send the invites on a first come first served basis,
Unfortunately there are some people who had to miss out.

As soon as i get anymore invites i promise i will send them.

A big apology to Ibiza, but the invite i sent to your email address has been bounced
Technical details of failure:
PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable

You are now first on the list the next time i get some invites.

Which reminds me, Anyone who needs orkut Invites, let me know. I will send them to you

And if the word gets out that FG's are handing out GMail invites without any consideration in return (unlike GMailswap etc.), then we will have a surge of FFG's (Fake Fucked Gaijins) and be slashdotted in no time.....

Are you ready ultra!!!

And which free email service is there in which emails are not already scanned word for word already? Google is not doing anything which us not already standard practice. It is just that they are the first ones coming clean with it.

Yup, this will keep the FFG's away

There's a lot it does that Yahoo! Mail can't and never may be able to do. GMail isn't pop-able though, yet...

You can save 1GB of viagra and penis enlargement spam messages. Then you can search all the messages for the lowest price. It's a good thing. :eeh:

Disclaimer: yes, my friend sent me a gmail invite. I have yet to take advantage of low price viagra and penis enlargement devices.

Finally managed to sign up for my gmail invite. Cool. The message threads reminds me of groups.google aka the old dejanews archive.

Let the spamming commence.

You want spam? Just make your Gmail address your point of contact here and publicly list it! :D

My Favourite feature (From Ultra's Link earlier)

Gmail supports "plus" addressing, which means that if your address is maryhadda@gmail.com, you can receive e-mail at maryhadda+littlelamb@gmail.com or maryhadda+longaddress@gmail.com, etc. Why is this useful? Well, Mary (or you!) could use one, er, I'll call it a "plussing," for mailing lists ("maryhadda+lists"), and another for shopping online ("maryhadda+shopping") and so on, and then create filters to put useful labels on the different types of mail.

You can also use it for figuring out which sites are selling your email address to marketing agencies cough*spammers*cough
