Gmail invitations

It seems amusing to find so many people vying to have at least one gmail account. One only has to visit forums or blogs and see what people can offer in order to get a free invitation (some are even getting desperate, uhh..). Perhaps for the sheer size of it or that others are dissatisfied with their current email provider. I for one just registered a few days ago after winning an invite at the www.freegmailinvites.com. It took me a couple of rounds before I did win one, and was so happy to find the link code posted on the webpage the day after.

Out of curiosity and with a little bit of excitement, I registered and lo...! I realized it's worth it - not only for the whooping gigantic storage capacity but specifically I'm fascinated at the features (and more are being added continually)... really it's a new way of looking at email and the way we can communicate with others. The Help area is extensively well made and the explanations clear, though I should say, the POP access feature is not working for me.... I cannot download my emails to my Outlook Express (latest version); the error message "cannot connect to the server" always appear whenever I click the send/receive button...

Nonetheless, I think Google is really, really making the other email competitors a run for their money.

This gmail thing is really a spark of genius...! congratulations to Google!

Welcome Me!

Hello folks! I'm new around here... this is the first time I'm doing this... blogging. I don't even know what a webblog is, hehehe.... just experimenting perhaps. Well, what's the difference between a webblog and a forum or discussion board? Everyone can see what's posted. In a discussion board, you can even use avatars. I've seen one where users can even load a streaming video as an avatar. Of course, it will probably take a little more time to refresh the page and could annoy the other viewers of the same page I guess.... Anyway, welcome me to the blogworld... enjoy yourself and have fun...
