Gmail Invites

[GoldEyes]

Yes...again....I have 6 up for grabs if anyone wants one.

[FATAL]

I have 22, on three accounts. I think that I can spare a few.

[Wicked Anime Kid]

I have 3 who wants sum?

[FATAL]

It seems that spreading gmail invites through newdoom is getting hopeless, everyone either has one already or doesn't want or need one.

[{TTr}Uber_soldat]

well considering the supply exceeds the demand, i think going elsewhere will help, btw i have 6 to go also

[NTG56]

how do these things work? i have never recived any of these invite things before, but i would like to get a gmail account. is like the account u get a set name or could it be any name u chose?

[{TTr}Uber_soldat]

tell me your email adress and ill send you an invite and you will find out

[Doom_Dude]

I have some invites as well.... crazyness.

You can choose any name you want. (if its not already taken) You can only get a gmail account by someone who has invites who already has a gmail account. (if that makes sense) It's just email....1 gig of space.

[Aliotroph?]

ONe gig if you're using a decimal number system. It's technically only 1000MB. :p

I think I have five invites. I've been trying to give them away for months. I heard there's a program to donate them so soldiers in Iraq can use them to talk to families. Might be worth looking into that.

[primus1236]

Google is very evil (http://google-watch.org) WARNING: front page of site contains small prisoner abuse pictures.

[GoldEyes]

Oh pfffffffffft.

[DoomedAce]

Who cares about privacy. I haven't got anything to hide. They can have the information in my emails. They can have the information on what I search. They can have the number to my bank account... No wait, they can't.

Oh, BTW, I got another 5 invites left.

[Shakadi]

I have 10 invites. I don't have enough friends. >.>

LOL That Google prisoner thing wasn't censorship. It was them being too lazy or busy to redo their image index in three months.

Google isn't anymore evil than Yahoo! or whatever else with regards to what they do. Gmail's privacy stuff is more honest than other like Hotmail. You can bet your money every e-mail provider that isn't your ISP (and maybe your ISP) is logging your mail and quite possibly searching it with computers. Meh. I bet that thing is so stupid that you could fill your inbox with all manner of illegal stuff and it would advertize a lot of it to you. At least it would if they signed up advertizers of illegal stuff.

Don't know about Google's but Yahoo's privacy policy has been tested. (http://www.betanews.com/article/Yahoo_Denies_EMail_Access_to_Family_of_Dead_Marine/1103748414)

[Bomberman9000]

I'd like an invite please :D Thanks in advance.

[Aliotroph?]

Remind me to put it in my will that whoever goes after my e-mail when I'm dead shouldn't get it.

[Jenblaze]

can someone pm me for one?

[Looney]

I have 19 sitting here, hahahahahahahahahahahaha *weird*

[Doom_Dude]

Teasing Jen are we? :p

[Ninja_of_DooM]

I got 4, anyone up for some?

Sorry for the bump. Just ahd to do it rather than do a new thread.

[Doom_Dude]

Ummm did anybody set jenblaze up with one yet?

[Big_al]

Ummm did anybody set jenblaze up with one yet?
I've just offered one.

Got four more up from grabs if anyone wants one.

[FATAL]

I'll take them all

[DoomedAce]

Heh. Looks like Newdoom's suffering from "invite overkill" :p

[Doom_Dude]

Wanana buy an Gmail invite? :p

[primus1236]

They sell on ebay for like 2 bucks. We could all be about 8 dollars richer. :p

[Doom_Dude]

LOL. The funny thing is people buy them. :p

[Big_al]

LOL. The funny thing is people buy them. :p
Must be the ones with no friends *grin*

[DoomedAce]

-- Ace's Get-rich-quickly-scheme nr. 389 --

Step 1. You start with six invites. Sell five on ebay for $2. That's $10 profit, provided you received the first account for free.
Step 2. Create a new account with the last invite. Revert to step 1.

Given an endless demand for invites, it's quite lucrative if you ask me ;)

[Big_al]

Until they stop the beta program and open it up at least.

I think that your business needs a little balancing.
Right now you'll get money early, but you'll lack invites to survive in the long run. You should for the first 5 times keep all the invites to yourself. This way you'll get 7776 invites in no time, and THEN I'd start making business. I'd get 15552 euros every time I get new invites. My company would then buy your cheap company when I have enough money to do so.

And then, Microsoft would come, buy you, and get more money out of GMail than Google itself :)

I would overprice myself. 100.000.000 would be a nice price.

No you don't. Increasing the supply of invites by such a large amount in a short time period would, given fast reaction of buyers, slash invites prices. So both our companies would go bankrupt.

I've got a better deal. Our companies will form a cartel and we jointly buy all the invites out there. Then we increase prices by 750% and start selling those invites again, small bunches at a time. Of course we're going to split the profits, equally. That way we'll be able to rip off the friend-less part of the world population. *evil business man laugh* (http://homepage.uvt.nl/~s430017/evil.wav)

[FATAL]

Now that's more like it!

Shall we say that a stable price of 20 euros per invite should be enough?
We'd have to sell about 500 of them in a month to get some good profit.

[sLydE]

I have 150 invites if anyone is interested :D

*squint* I'm really starting to believe that Google is reaching for world domination...

This reminds of the way drug dealers work. First. they give the drugs away very cheap, even for free. But when you are addicted to the drugs, they want more and more in exchange for them.

What could Google possibly want? All your money? Sex? All your personal data? What are the reasons for them to give away so many free accounts? Google isn't a charitable company, so they must have a financial reason in mind... it worries me. ;)

Don't worry, join the fun!


At least, that's what they said to me before I bankrupted...

[GoldEyes]

Yep, I have 50 invites now. What in the hell???

[PumpkinSmasher]

I have 50 too. I now believe that it will never be out of "beta"

[primus1236]

I've only got 8 :(

[Doom_Dude]

Heh I have 10 Invites. Meh.

[Nephil]

Now it's even starting to scare me... *sick*

[Azriel]

I would like to have an invite if anyone's still willing to give one.

[Aliotroph?]

Google is in it for ad money. That's most of the business.

I have 5 invites.

[PumpkinSmasher]

Azriel, if you want an invite PM me your e-mail address.

[sLydE]

heh, goldeyes should put a blurb in the forum rules saying "if you want a gmail address, just pm me your email address", so that new guys don't even have to bother looking for this thread :D

[Joel]

I have like 50 gmail invites I need to use up. If anybody wants one then drop me a PM or something.

[GoldEyes]

That's not such a bad idea! lol.

[Shino]

For real? Can I have one please? ^^

[GoldEyes]

PM me your email address and one is yours.

[Shino]

Woah, thanks! ;) PM sent.

[GoldEyes]

Invite sent.

[PumpkinSmasher]

I have 49 left now.

[Doom_Dude]

The damned things are multiplying. The more you give away the more you get......

[Aliotroph?]

Would be neat if Google published a map of the Gmail invites linking back to the first one. Goldeyes is probably one of the biggest nodes. :D

[GoldEyes]

I just don't get it though. Why don't they just make it public now? I mean giving EVERYONE 50 invites is SO pointless, EXPECIALLY after already having about 50 total before these 50, lol.

[Aliotroph?]

It's Google's policy not to take anything out of beta if they think they'll make big changes to it. Some of there services have been in beta for almost 4 years. :D

[Big_al]

They're just lazy lol

[{TTr}Uber_soldat]

actually it sort of makes it look better, If its invite only, it looks better to the general public, people want in on things the general public isnt allowed into.

[Big_al]

Better interface to Yahoo/Hotmail etc :)

[Nuxius]

Pretty much anything is better than Hotmail's interface though; man that things terrible, especially if you're not using IE (like me).

[Mystic]

I cant be arsed with it, Im not a google hater or anything, I actually have their search thingy on my homepage and use it all the time, I just prefer to stick with the same email addy ive been using for years now

[Mystic]
