Todd over at Geek News Central was handing out Gmail accounts to all his loyal listeners. What a good idea! I’ve got 49 invites I could pass out to interested parties, so if your in need of a nice, big, google-y mailbox, drop me an email and I’ll send you an invite as a special thank you for visiting my weblog.
In addition to my classic address, I can now be reached at brainwagon@gmail.com. First come, first served, when they are gone, they are gone.
Wow, that is a lot of invites. I went to check how the spooler ( http://isnoop.net/gmail/) is doing. A few weeks ago it seemed that invites were being snapped up almost as quickly as they arrived. Now it claims that there are 180000 in the queue! Perhaps it’s a bug. Interestingly, the rate at which they are being distributed seems to have jumped by an order of magnitude since the start of February. See the graph here: http://isnoop.net/gmail/index.php?stats=1
I wonder what’s going on.
