Every day, eager workers at Google's corporate headquarters in sunny California start their day with a wholesome breakfast (a hungry worker isn't a happy worker), and then get to task creating new Gmail usernames for the thousands of users that sign up every single day!
You can create your own Gmail username by visiting the Gmail homepage. You can sign up for your very own Gmail username using your mobile phone.
How we make your username, step by step:
1. A vistor to one of Google's many services decides that he or she would like to get a Gmail username. 2. That visitor might visit Google's Google Account Help page to learn more about Google Accounts. That visitor then visits the Gmail page and fills out a quick-and-easy form. 3. Somewhere within the Google offices, a bright flashing light alerts workers to the new request. Quickly, a worker tears off a printout listing the new user's details and sprints across the campus towards the engineering department. 4. The printout is handed off to a Google engineer, who punches a precise pattern of holes into a paper card. The engineer then feeds the card into the G-Frame computer, which reads the punches and puts the new user information into the large Gmail database. 5. The engineer then rides a Segway over to the customer service department and hands the printout to a New User Welcoming Representative, who quickly writes a friendly e-mail to the new user and sends it. 6. The new user recieves a confirmation and can now log in! The process is complete and the user now has access to a world of helpful and useful Google services.
Okay, one more time... how can I get my own username?
You too can be part of this process. Just visit the Gmail site and sign up using your mobile phone! Have fun with your new Gmail account!

Why wouldn't the workers have a direct link to send the printout directly to the engineers via their internal network.
Then after the Engineer finishes whatever he does wouldn't he just send it to the customer service department through email or internal network.
I know its obviously not true but if its meant to fool anyone the statement does a bad job at it. Even a retarded computer user would think in his/her head, "Why don't they just email it to the engineers and to the customer service after that".
Is it supposed to be just a stupid joke for laughs or something. When I read the quote it sounded like something that a kid would make up.
I think that this is really funny, and it would be even funnier if something did actually happen with premium accounts that cost like £75.00 from different places.
For the first few lines it was realistic--ish, then it just spiralled into pure humour.
Man I thought it was true until I came to the part where a Google worker would print out a form from one user and gives it to the engineer guy who puts the google username up. Doing that for thousands of users signing up everyday is just stupid. Don't they use scripts that automatically does that like, the things being put into database and sending the automatic response email. What a pointless excerpt. It's interesting however because it could be a bit believable to those who don't know anything about computers.

Yeah... I agree with demlaynyc. For those who knows about computers or maybe is involve in engineering/science, it is not funny since it cannot be true. But imagine telling that to someone who is not technologically competent and see his/her reaction... hehe....
Yeah, I agree that it can fool people who don't really understand how computers work and stuff like web-mail But, somebody, who didn't have anything to do and was bored wrote this and now we are just reading But seriously, the first part of the quoted text was quite funny, I had a smile, but when reading further it got lame.
I am not sure if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes... I saw lately that a lot
of ppl use their gmail accounts for msn messenger, however I read the policy of gmail and what I
understood was that it is not legal to use other clients, such as msn and all. So my question is
this: is it legal to use gmail accounts for msn messenger? And if there are limitations, what are
those?...
I was looking for an alternative to GMail. Something that has a sleek interface and has something
like 1GB of storage. I dont care about advanced functionality like labeling and searching. Any
suggestions? ...
In response to this topic . G-Mail is currently still in the beta phase right now. You can right
now sign up for a Google Account to use with other services like Google Groups and Google Answers
but you can't sign up yourself to get a G-Mail account right now, you need to be invited. To
get an invite just sign up on isnoop.net 's G-Mail spooler ! Unbelievably there are currently
over 40,000 invites available!...

if you haven't tried it yet, you can try it now https://mail.google.com/mail/?ui=2 I'm not
sure you will like it or not, it isn't perfect like the older version This new version take
longer time for the first time loading, but when your browser has cached, it faster the interface
doesn't change much, but if you notice you can see it works more smoothly than the older (not
your browser, your CPU usage will always very high while using this new Gmail version) the most
liked thing in this new version in my opinion is I can know who has sent mail to me dir...

Do you still remember the days when our free Hotmail and Yahoo mail inboxes were only a few
megabytes? 2mb for hotmail and 4 mb for Yahoo! Mail? With the entry of Google's Gmail which
offers 1 Gigabyte of free email storage space, the battle is set between all these free email
providers. Who do you think is winning? I remembered that Yahoo! quickly followed up with 250mb
soon after Gmail. I was using Hotmail, and I was conficent that MSN will also increase storage
space. But they didn't and I switced to Gmail which now offers 2 gig. Hotmail has only recently

I think a kinda page is needed where people can post their email addresses so that they recieve a
gmail invitation on that address. The person who posts his email address, basically routes a
request to an already existing member(s). The member sends him an invitation and acknowledges it (so
that not all members end up sending invites). This would, for the time being, act as a sign up page
for Gmail. I know so many newbies on net who have to do way with services like yahoo and hotmail
(when no one actually needs them with gmail around)....
Did you know that if you owned a domain and wanted a free custom mail domain then you can simply got

well, you must have been aware of gmail service offered by google, they are giving 2GB's to its
users, aren't you stunned that how they can manage such a big storage, beause it become popular
very sooon and now it have millions of user world wide, so which data storage technology they are
using, if the answer is traditional storage technology then i think this is not the answer as our
magnetic storage technology is not that efficient and slow too and handling trillions of GBs in free
is.....what can i say now? i think they are using HOLOGRAHIC data storage, holog...

At http://isnoop.net/gmail/ they have taken invite donations from users with nothing better to
do with their invites and have given to this site! Just type in your e-mail address, and then you
will receive an invitation to sign up for a Gmail account. If you can't find something to do
with your 50 invites, donate them to isnoop.net. I think they have enough for anybody who wants a
Gmail account now, but it couldn't hurt. All the directions are on the page.

this is something i often used to do when i got a file (usually software of some sort), and i wanted
to keep it so i would be able to access it for later download. i did it once to save aerosmiths mp3
"dont wanna miss a thing" which took me hours to locate on the net. of course at that time, i didnt
much take into account the possibility of using online storage servers like znail and so on.
anyway, i would create a blank email, then i'd upload the software and send it to myself. and
there it would sit in myemail box until i needed it, when i would download it again....
