The gmail revolution

So, okay....I got an invite to gmail over a year ago and I deleted it because I wasn't interested in having another email account. Now I find out people are actually paying for invitations to gmail? Wow....I found this out when I decided it was time to switch away from excite email and I like free email services because no matter which internet service you have you can access your mail.

So I searched gmail thinking no problem I'll just click on the link and sign up. I was woefully uninformed about how gmail had not only become hard to get but has become it seems almost a status symbol with the way people are selling invites on ebay as well as other places.

However thanks to fantababy who has a really nice blog with info on it helpful to anyone who uses the internet in addition to some interesting posts about life in India, I have a gmail account now.

Too early to tell if it really is the "all that and a bag of fritos" for the free email service world....I'll keep you posted.

I've changed my email on my profile here to be the new gmail.
