GMail invites going

GMail just keeps giving me invites. I have three to give away to the first three people to ask for them. Just pop your name and email address in the comments, and I'll send you one along.

Update: In the end, I gave away five invites. All are gone now. If I give any more to give away, I'll be sure to offer them here.

Second update: Google has given me six more invites, I'll be handing these out too. Justin, James and Hala should expect their invites soon. From now I'm only giving out invites to those that meet the following criteria:

I need your first name and your family name. I'm tired of typing "Something" as a family name. Preference will be given to those who correctly capitalise their name.
I obviously need an email address.
Anyone who is a little too enthusiastic doesn't get one. This is for your own good... it's only an email account.
Don't make a bad joke like Justins. Just ask for your invite, and if I have one left you'll get it. Preference will be given to those who ask politely.
If you've already gotten an invite, you don't get another one. Your friends want a GMail account too? Then use your account... Google should give you some invites that you can hand out yourself.

I seem to get six a day, so I'll be handing these out for as long as I get them.

Third update: I haven't received any more invites to hand out. If I get any more, I'll try and clear the queue here. I'm not accepting any more requests for invites, as I'm getting requests faster than I can answer.

If anyone who has already gotten an invite from me is still reading this - if you get invites yourself, please consider donating them back to the people in the comments. Email me at david.barrett@gmail.com, telling me how many invites you have to give out, and I'll co-ordinate the distribution. Thanks.

Ryan Dawson:

I'd really appreciate one, It seems a bit cheeky for everyone to be begging for one, but if you're offering....I'm sick of having hundreds of numbers at the end of my address y'see.

Posted at June 23, 2004 06:21 PM

David Barrett:

Kunal Chopra, Daniel Higgins and Paul Oliver: invites sent.

Kat, David and Ryan: next batch, I promise.

Greg Cowie:

I'd really like to see if the interest gmail is generating is in proportion to the product offered, or just so much hype. I'd also love an address unrelated to work and that doesn't contain three underscores and a four digit number. I realize you've probably already dealt out your current batch - but if any more invites come your way, please consider me. Thanks.

I haven't received any more invites to hand out. If I get any more, I'll try and clear the queue here. I'm not accepting any more requests for invites, as I'm getting requests faster than I can answer.

So continue to reply to this post if you want, but I cannot give out invites to anyone else who replies.

If anyone who has already gotten an invite from me is still reading this - if you get invites yourself, please consider donating them back to the people in the comments. Email me at david.barrett@gmail.com , telling me how many invites you have to give out, and I'll co-ordinate the distribution.

You may be interested in the GMail machine:

It gives out free invites. Read the instructions.

Hello, can I please get a gmail invite from you. I really want to move as far from microsoft as I can. Thanks for your time and it really is nice of you to be offering these invites.

Posted at June 24, 2004 08:30 PM

David Barrett:

Guys, there are no more invites. Anyone who asked before I said this will receive invites if I get them (and I haven't gotten any more yet). Nick, Jeff, and anyone who posted or posts after I said this will not receive an invite from me.

I can't keep up with demand. Sorry guys.

Can you read?

"David Barrett:

I can't keep up with demand. Sorry guys."

It's very irritating when people can't be bothered to read other posts, it just shows greed and selfishness.

Kace CC:

I'd like one if it's ok with you :D.

Posted at June 26, 2004 05:33 PM

Ryan Dawson:

Jesus Christ! Did you not read the post directly before yours? No-one else is being accepted. At least show a little interest and not be quite so obviously shallow and greedy.

Posted at June 26, 2004 07:35 PM

David Barrett:

I guess people can't read, Ryan :)
