Ahoy! Gmail!

I’ve got a regular stock of invites to give out – on average three per day – as it seems that Google is getting nearer and nearer to going past Gmail Beta.
It also seems that Google has learned from social networking and their experiments with Orkut, alleviating the potential massive initial server crush of subscribers by exploiting the network of existing users and slowly incrementing the quantity of invites through an already-established user base. Quite clever!
BTW – if you’re in need of a Gmail account, post a pirate joke in the comments. I’m a sucker for a pirate. Arrrrr!

Unfortunately, I have run out of invites and Google seems to have halted their invite campaign for the moment. I hadn’t closed off comments for some reason (my bad) and will send the last two commmenters invites as I get them.
Thanks to everyone for the horrible jokes. Arrrrr! Don’t forget to mark your calendars, September 19 is International Talk Like a Pirate Day.

Shiver me timbers! I’ve got more invites for all you scurvy bastards.
