    Gmail without an Invitation!

    www.gmail.com

    Seems Google are now allowing people to sign up to Gmail without getting invited... Took a long time coming eh?

    The logo hasn't changed from Beta, so I presume not.

    Heh, just spotted the Google homepage. It is still beta - the linky on the front page says so.

    A bit like the O2 sim cards, loads to collect.

    We should be able to put them on ebay?

    apparently google are getting a bit shirty about people using all their online storage. there was an article on theinq where someone had their account frozen, due to suspicious activities.

    on a side note, any idea if its possible to get back a deleted account that doesnt currently exist anymore ?

    Thye freeze your account if you upload a certain amount in a certain amount of time.

    I uploaded pile of pics which I had split into 10mb rar files and had my account frozen, that was about a gig IIRC.

    It's not as if it's hard to get an invite from someone anyway. I've probably got loads, and I'm starting to use my gmail account as my primary e-mail account nowadays as my personal one is via SMTP to my client, and I switch between computers a lot thus not being able to see older e-mails.

    it may not be out of beta, but Ive noticed a few minor UI and behavioural changes....nothing major.

    I love gmail, its my primary email account - registered other addresses for the sake of spam....
