« Toro! Toro! Toro! | Main | Jobs Growth in Tennessee » June 17, 2004I've Got GMail
If you don't like GMail, don't use it! Don't email to GMail addresses! But why should the CA legislature deprive us of the choice to use GMail, in the way Google built it, if we so decide? Let's be clear: this law deprives users of choice. It would prevent Google from producing a service that users could benefit from - if they choose!Alden was criticizing a move afoot in the California legislature to regulate GMail, calling it "yet another case of big business using government to build barriers to innovative, new, and potentially commercially threatening business, aided and abbetted by paranoid radicals." No wonder, Alden says, that businesses are fleeing California at a rapid rate. Posted in Internet & Technology

Bill, I beat you. I got my invite last week. I'm still thinking about how to use it. Even with one gig of space I fear a misstep in publicizing the new address will just result in that much more spam. Posted by: Sean Hackbarth at June 17, 2004 11:07 PMAs a blogspot user, I was one of the first to get the gmail accounts. I've had mine over a month now. As a 'seasoned' user (g), I've been given the opportunity to invite others 3 times now. The first time I was allowed 2 invites, and the last two times I have been allowed to invite 3 each. For a free email addy, you get what you pay for. It's not the best interface as I prefer POP - but you can't beat the storage capacity. At a 10MB per email limit, I can easily send larger files I couldn't send before (and then came dropload.com). Posted by: DocB at June 18, 2004 06:08 AMI'm jealous. I signed up but haven't received diddly. I run my own email server at home and would just as soon use someone else's servers for storage. I couldn't care less if Gmail read my email. Heck, maybe I could get it to read my blog and drive up my hit counts! Posted by: Sharp as a Marble at June 18, 2004 06:44 AMPost a comment

I'm one of those lucky few who are beta-testing Gmail. Just got my account last night, courtesy of an invite from another blogger affiliated with
