sorry all, i was invited and do not have the ability to send invites to others to allow them to join (yet).

I understand it is only google employees and some bloggers who have access.
It is still in beta, i'm sure it will be available soon to everyone else. Problem then is all the good names will have been snapped up.

From what I have seen so far, it is first class, the ads are v v unobtrusive (can't say I've even noticed them properly, and the privacy policy looks as good as hotmail/yahoo etc..

Default Tim and I_Storey, You now have mail...

For those that were interested, it seems the thing has been opened up a bit (must be going on general release soon!).
I can now invite a lot of people!
If anyone else is interested, leave me your details and I will try to sort it out.

WWSD - very unobtrusive IMHO.

I have had a look at the privacy debate, and understand the issues.

1Gb storage vs. ads I am immune to now - no brainer AFAIC.

Its not about the intrusiveness of the ads its about the fact that it reads all your emails to determine what ads to show you hence zip privacy. I think there is some debate going on as to its legality.

Hello

Thank you for doing that BigC:

Interestingly enough Yahoo Mail thinks it is spam and hid it from me!!
