Gmail Accounts
Anybody want one?
PM me and I'll see if I can sort you out with one.
What to know what one is?
Gmail is Googles version of Hotmail.
You Get:
1GB of space for email
An email address that ends with @gmail.com
No need to delete or sort, just archive your messages and should you need them later you can just a google type search to find them.
Currently you can only join by invite as Google don't want to be swamped by 50billion people all trying to sign up at once (ok thats an exaggeration but you get the idea)
The one 'downside' is that when your using your email there are a few discrete ads running down the right hand side of the page. These ad's have been selected by the computer based on keywords that it has found in your emails. In truth this is no worse than the ads you get when searching using google normally.
Many Gmail users are being given the facility to invite friends etc to join the service. Many of these users are choosing to sell the Invites using services such as eBay for between £10-20 ($20-40) a time.
I currently have 6 of these invites available and am willing to give them to any fellow LW fan who wants one.
P.S.
If anybodies wondering, I originally took the name Magnamundian about about six years ago when playing the Avatar MUD. The name has 'stuck' ever since.
[ Small addition: Please everyone, remember to use private messages when that's more appropriate than forum posts, just like Magnamundian asks in this message. It saves readers from having to click & scroll a lot in order to find discussion messages among rather uninteresting requests directed to one single person. Thanks. / Thomas ]
