Gmail pretty much has gone public because if you go to the Gmail login screen you will see you can text message Google to get an invitation. Even if you can't text message using a cell phone many instant messengers now allow you to text message. Gmail has gone public just without a sign-up link. I wish it wasn't public it was better before. Well now everyone can use Gmail might as well send all the Gmail invitations back to Google.

QUOTE Gmail has gone public just without a sign-up link. Quite true... A lot of people know Gmail and have Gmail. Heh, even my school principal uses Gmail for work! (It's true! I saw her at the computer when I was asking for permission to join a contest!) I was shocked, since most of my classmates don't even know or care about Gmail. Their lives revolve on Yahoo! and Friendster, and what a shock to see the principal using Gmail, hahaha!  Anyway, I'm not gonna be happy when Gmail goes public (with the sign-up page) Some people don't understand the invitation process, and give up and go. If Gmal puts up a sign-up page, more users will come and the service will slow down.  In fact, I was downloading a Gmail attachment, and it kept cutting midway. I couldn't even get a decent download! What more if Gmail goes officialy public!?

QUOTE(Microsoft @ Aug 24 2005, 07:48 PM) I think gmail is great but every thing on google says beta :/ i think theyll leave it that way, it would be awsome if they made a messenger   Well, they finally did! Introducing GoogleTalk! If you have Gmail and want to use Gtalk, you can get it HERE, but it's only in beta, even more basic than Gmail was when it started up

If its as good as everything else they make, it will most likely be better then all of the other messaging services. Though the only annoying thing is that is just one more messaging system thats out there. It would be nice if all of them combined into one but that would never happen.btw, your link is broken :\ Like most people said, Gmail would probably be better off just keeping it invite only. Though they could really just make it public now if they wanted to because basically anyone can get an invite since their are so many members and so many invites :\ I, myself still have like 50 invites. xJedix |

Google has to up for public... but I don't know when it's going to happen... It makes no difference for me, in fact, I thought it was already a public e-mail... Well, I guess I have to get in touch with PC again! XD
Google is still on BETA because it's not a complete e-mail yet, but I don't know what else they can add... only some upgrades but not a new thing... well... let's wait to see! |

According to google gmail is open to the public, and ready for users to sign up, sort of, here is a recent google anoucement
QUOTE "Sign up for Gmail" 8/24/2005 05:44:00 PM Posted by Keith Coleman, Gmail Product Manager It's pretty exciting to see those words on the Gmail homepage. For the last 16 months, a lot of people have been asking us how they can sign up for Gmail, and today we're happy to be able to say, "Just go to gmail.com." From there, you can get an invitation code sent to your mobile phone, and with this code, you can create a Gmail account. Once you have Gmail, you can try out our brand new IM and voice service, Google Talk. Why use mobile phones? It's a way to help us verify that an account is being created by a real person, and that one person isn't creating thousands of accounts. We want to keep our system as spam-free as possible, and making sure accounts are used by real people is one way to do that. We're also working on some new mobile features that will make your Google account more useful and secure, such as SMS alerts and password recovery. When you sign up using your mobile phone, you can choose to save your number with your account so you can use these features as soon as they become available. Right now, sign-ups only work with U.S. mobile phone numbers, but we're eager to support others. With Gmail now available in 29 languages (and counting), we're already working hard to bring you "注册 Gmail 邮箱," "Зарегистрироваться в системе Gmail," "Abra sua conta no Gmail" and many more. The only problem is I can't seem to find the sign up link, perhapse because I live in canada and they are IP screening. (PS I already have an accound, so please don't offer an invite) |

Hey all!
I actually like the way that gmail does things. And I always have 50 invites. I actually went on a invite binge and I sent out 30 invites. The next day I was back to 50 invites. In this way gmail is open to public. You really can get an account if you try. I prefer gmail to yahoo although I use both. Gmail is my primary and private account. I really don't get much spam there. I give my second primary account out to potential spam places. Places that may sell my email address. I also like the idea of the cell phone to get invite codes. That is a great system. Also it really does work better if you have to work for what you get. You appreciate it more. I honestly love my gmail account. I love that our opinion counts. I have sent suggestions to gmail and most of the time they have been implimented with in a month or two....
