Google Gmail
What does a guy have to do to get an invite into the Google Gmail beta?
Sigh. Anticipation blows.
UPDATE 11:29 AM: A big thank you to Anne Davis of EduBlog Insights for the Google Gmail invite!! You rock, Anne!!
UPDATE 07/17/04: Several people have posted comments here (which I have deleted) asking for a Gmail account. Sorry, but that's a waste of time. I don't have any to give out. You're treading dangerously close to this. So comments are closed on this post.
If I do ever get the ability to grant other people Gmail accounts, I'll offer them privately to friends first, and if I have more left over I'll publicly offer them in a first-come, first-serve basis via this blog.
In the meantime, the way that I found to get a Gmail account was to (1) set up a blog (2) spend four years providing content that's of at least some interest to a few people. That helps you (3) develop a regular readership which you can then (4) ask favors of, such as Gmail invitations.
Better get crackin'. You're not getting any younger just beggin' for accounts.
