| | A posting on the Google Blog says that GMail is now available for users to sign up with at the front page. No more exclusivity, no more invitations, no more " My mailbox is bigger thatn yours " !
However, as of now, when I am clicking the link I still can't see any way for a user to sign up... Perhaps it's being rolled out slowly. |

Crazy, that. There certainly isn't any invitation box anymore, but for some weird reason I can't log out of Gmail anymore - I hope they didn't break anything when they de-betaed it.

This looks interesting, but i like Astahost e-mail or Road Runner. It's annoying how many things there are that don't have a register link, especially when they say"Regsiter Now!" or something like that.

Maybe Google is out of it's testing time. However, the "send invitations" menu is still there on my user's page, so it's probably still possible to invite a friend. And, effectively, I see no menu for registering without invitation.

Nope, it's still Beta for me, and I don't see a signup link. What they're saying does seem pretty cool though, the whole "sign up with a mobile phone" thing. Perhaps they posted the blog entry before they added the Gmail features by mistake.

It'd be nice for them to finally go full out... but at the same time I cant imagine it'll affect me any. I've been gmailing long before this, will be long after... the title or how many others can or cant sign up doesn't affect me haha

Hmmm.. I read elsewhere that in order to be able to sign up, one needs to access the GMail site from a mobile phone in the USA. Then you get the activation code and URL which goves you a GMail account. Can anyone verify this?

QUOTE (sparx @ Aug 25 2005, 06:05 PM) Hmmm.. I read elsewhere that in order to be able to sign up, one needs to access the GMail site from a mobile phone in the USA. Then you get the activation code and URL which goves you a GMail account. Can anyone verify this? Well, I have a mobile phone but I'm not in the US right now. However, these kind of phones are getting high-tech, very fast!! I mean, phones with digital cameras - then MP3 players - radios - organizers - applications - it's becoming a computer world. It's like a tiny computer with 10 megabytes of storage, which kinda stinks. Well, Gmail is no longer in Beta status, eh? That's ... some cool news you got there. I never even bother to thoroughly read the Google newsbits at their website. Well, I did, once or twice, and there were some interesting stuff. Such as making alliances with other companies, etc. However, I don't think it's very difficult to get a Gmail invite right now. You can go to these forums filled and crawling and swarming with Gmail users who want to give away their Gmail invites. I got a Gmail invite from my school friend and I was impressed by the storage and compactness!! I mean, 1 gigabyte of storage at first. Then, 2 gigabytes (some months ago). It's growing 1 megabyte a day too. Dude, this is like a hundred times better than Hotmail, with better filter stuff. However, I wish the spam mails would go somewhere different, like the Deleted Items section, other than the Spam section. I get about 4-5 spam mails a day. Also, I hope they do something about this spam issue. It's getting really annoying and if Google releases or upgrades to another version, I hope they do something about spam mails. You know how annoying they are

Nope it doesnt really seem to be out of beta mode. I still have the invitation box thing with 50 invites left. The homepage still says that its better. Ive only seen a link on the Google Talk site. The mobile signup thing is only for US residence so it is still in beta and quite restricting to the rest of the world.

sorry for the double post...astahost really needs to alow people to edit thier posts QUOTE(Hercco @ Sep 25 2005, 01:01 AM) Don't feel ashamed, Google is not doing charity. GMail wasn't created because there was need for another email service, but because it fits googles business plan. With google having an extensive advertising business it is fairly obvious that in addition to your web searches they use your emails and Blogger posts to profile you and target advertising. It's up to you where to draw the line, but personally I do not like information gathered from such a personal thing as email. I do not allow google to set cookies, and yes I do have a Gmail account but use a separate browser to access it (I actually have Netscape 7.1 installed only for reading Gmail) and only use it for registrations and such. The system itself is well built, it's probably the nicest webmail system ever, and the spam detection works well IMO. That's why I use it in the first place. You can call me paranoid but in this case not trusting doesn't hurt. And google is not the only service I don't trust. I generally block cookies from most sites, unless I see there is need for them. Its nice that advertisers tend to label their servers so that the url gives away their purpose. why wouldnt you trust gmail?? they use bots to scan your email, but so does every other email service out thier, hotmail does it, yahoo, all emails do it. accept gmai does it to place ads relavent to your email content, while hotmail does it to figuer out what spam emails best suit your desire and why should you feel ashamed your not paying for gmail??? i think thats a stupid comment because google isnt here purly to make money, they are here to make the people happy with what they use on the internet, first they made people happy with the most powerful search engine on the web, then they came out with google earth, maps, news, destop search, toolbar. they only google took you have to pay for it google earth, but its understandable, what do they ask for in return??? they ask that you tell them how they can improve your internet experience! google is only thier for you, not for themselfs, they even offer tons of job positions!

Yeah, you're right. I checked gmail.com but they are still apparently in beta mode. And also what's more I still have 100 invites. I personally think it's great that gmail will be offering this feature to the web, it will improve gmail webmesseging and the google search engine immensly.
