Alas! Gmail party’s over
Wednesday June 16, 2004 – 11:02 amSo I got 3 more Gmail invites yesterday and quickly doled them out to friends… I have one left at the moment but I’m saving it for someone very special, I know not who. I expect to get some mileage outta this. So it has to be either a very VERY cute guy, someone I am trying to impress, and/or someone who has a music collection I might envy, heheh. Barring that, an Alpha Geek. Somebody (either sex) who’s helped me a lot on tech stuff, or potentially could. And if I could be made to feel superior to this person in some small way, that would be extra nice. Trouble is, all those people already have Gmail accounts!! ::sigh:: There are too many invites out there, even the newbies of one week ago are getting invites to give away themselves. NO FAIR!! ha ha.
(If you’re still reading and aren’t thoroughly sick of this whole topic, please see the cartoon which I found through the Gmail-as-babe-magnet article on PCWorld. Not that funny, but definitely on-topic.)

How does Google dole out its Gmail invites? I just got a Gmail account and I can’t wait to share the love (and wield the power, ho ho!).

They just appear in your account, nobody knows the logic behind who gets how many and when. It took a week for the link to appear on my account; I got 3 invites and three more the next week. Other people (hi Rob J!) have gotten six invites at a time.

Oooh, ooh! i’m semi-cute and I don’t have a Gmail account.

OK, I can tell this has good comedy potential. Picture please! Fully clothed will be fine. :-)

Ugggh, I’m so desperate for a gmail account I’ll lie about my appearance. And I’m so ugly I won’t let people take pictures of me, but there are Mirror Project shots here, here, and here.

Hmmm… what do you think ladies? Would you hit it? ;-)
I won’t torture you much longer, your desperation is most charming. You’ve at least made the short-list. And I like the glasses too.

Okay Chris, you are the cutest and only guy who wants one. And Gmail just gave me five more!! Please stand by. I better hurry, the value of these things is plummeting by the minute.

I know, late late. But I concur-give the man a Gmail! A friend of a friend (eeh!) MIGHT give me one, but so far no word. Anticipation is a killer.

Just sent you one. :-) You are super cute.
