Three more Gmail invitations!

Posted on July 14th, 2004 by Poonam

So I was asking Monty the other day how he got a gmail invitation. So he sent me one and I set up an account for Neeraj (verma.neeraj@gmail.com). Then today, Neeraj got three more invitations!

His friend Rajat, from college, is working at Google for the summer so he sent Neeraj three invitations. So I asked him what should we do with them because Neeraj already got his account. So he told me to make myself one (I think its going to be Poonam.bhatia@gmail.com) and then just send the others to someone else. But to whom?

So I asked my friend Beth if she wanted one, and she said yes. So she set herself up today (fiddlerbethe@gmail.com). But now that I noticed is that I can forward that invitation to anyone as many times as I want for three weeks. Wow.

It seems like everyone must have one now, but if there is someone out there that wants a gmail account, then let me know

Going back home in about 45 mins!! Yay!! Then I will post when I get home. Chalo Alvida. Jai Mata Di.

Do you think the gmail craze still exists or is fading off?? Now that there are so many others providing the same, i wonder why people really want a gmail address!!

To me, its just another email account.

Gmail has its advantages…its banner free..its fast…its got an awesome threading functionality which no other email has! :) what say?

That’s very true Ridhish! I really like the conversation aspect of it too! I also like the Search. That functionality is much easier than it is in Yahoo or Hotmail.

Monty - I think you are right as well. I think it is fading off. With Rediff and Yahoo (Hotmail sometime in the future) giving great storage but there are some benefits for Gmail.

Well, i wanted to share the wealth if anyone was interested

Oh yeah ridhish, you’re right when it comes to being ad-free and fast. Personally i didnt like the threading functionality.

Suppose we both are exchanging emails, so it will show up as just one email and then threaded within, which for some odd reason i didnt like.

But apneko kya, i dont use gmail nor hotmail nor yahoo. Pop3 account zindabad :duck::mrgreen:

Poonam, since you also use np.com now, i doubt you’ll use gmail much.

Waise did you know that you can have that style in Outlook 2003? After the research I was doing today on it, that was one of the things I learned was the different ways you can have your messages shown in your Inbox.

I think the threading makes it easier to look at all the different mails you might have written on one subject. Waise tumhare liye sahi hai. Outlook Zindabad:wink:

You are right. That’s why I haven’t made the account. The only reason I was thinking about making it was in case if ANOTHER Poonam Bhatia wanted to buy it from me Then that gave me a GREAT idea. Why not look for other names that might not be taken? So I looked for abhishek, rahul (had to be six letters), pooja, preeti. Hey. Why not make $$ off someone else’s name

Monty bhai tumhari kismat aachi hai. Main toh waise maazak kar rahi thi Tumhara case toh bahut alag tha…and it is based on luck. The chances are very slim that someone is going to pay for an email account. Sahi hai tumhari baat..isliya no tension..apun ko life main tension nahi hai

[Lasse] - I had first written that we didn’t have any but I just checked Neeraj’s Gmail account, and he does have an invite. Just let us know if you still want it.
