How Did You Feel When You Got Gmail? - Share it here

Ah, I miss when GMail accounts were rare. Invites were scarce. Other email providers were crap. Et cetera.

I was extremely happy where I received my invite. Though, I used a website that generated invitation codes. biggrin.gif I doubt that's illegal, because this is a free provider were talking about here. It's not illegal...right? blink.gif

I think google made us all feel "special" when getting a Gmail account because of how secluded (not really) they made it feel. The invite system made me fee like I was the only one with Gmail... But soon I found out exactly how many people had one ohmy.gif


Gmail was better than my ISP email which was what I was using before switching, but I couldn't help but thinking after finding out how many people used it, that I was just "conforming to the masses" I still use gmail as my primary email address, and i do like the space it provides me laugh.gif

GMail is GREAT. I can receive (not forward) all of my other mail on my gmail account. this is important because I can use my old personal email, my school email, my business email and my gmail all in one. It also shows up very nicely on mobile phones. I don't always have access to a computer, but I need to check my email, so it's really nice when I can check my email on the road from my phone. Just about unlimited storage isn't bad, either. My favorite part is google docs. I would type up all of my lectures in google docs and then you can share and collaborate with others. It came in really useful in my government lecture when we would review. I would type the lectures as my friends would type the reviews. Google really does know what they're doing, I'd be lost without gmail anymore.

Well, when I first got my gmail account, I kinda thought....this is retarted, but thats when I didn't notice all features it had. Now I use it all the time! The new Calender extension they made is wonders for me because I use the Calendar for pretty much everything, my Calendar has my life on it. Gmail has so much space, now I can just archive so its like, "damn, now I dont have to delete my messages so I have stuff to look back to if I forgot what something said"....Gmail kicks my last emails butt by a long far.

I felt cool because Gmail seemed to be the latest thing and everyone I knew wanted it, but so few had it. I got an invite from one of my friends and I went around boasting to some of my friends that I had it and they didn't. But after a while everyone seemed to be getting it and the "cool factor" wore off. Now it's just normal. I still love it, though, because of all the features. My favorite feature is the Archive one. It is such a great help.

    using it I was thinking "OK, that beta will be dropped soon", then I got used to seeing the logo
    that way. Now I wonder what's the reason to keep the "beta" indication? Is it some sort of
    disclaimer ("if it loses your mail it's your problem") or just that people got used to it and
    removing it would mean losing users ("mmm it may soon become a paid service..", I know that does...

  13. Which Antivirus Gmail Is Using? - A person found out it is Sophos! (12)
    Hey everyone! While surfing the internet I found out an intersing report..which claims that Gmail
    is using Sophos as the antivirus. This guy used a free service in which he sent out some malwares
    and that service gave out the report of major antiviruses...like which one detected it and which
    didnt. And then he compared it with Gmail....and the results show that Gmail found out exactly the
    same malwares which sophos found...so that means there algorithm is same...so it has to be sophos!

  16. An Ode To Gmail. - A small text about how GMail is awesome. (5)
    Everyone wanted a piece of the e-mail pie. Microsoft made a free e-mail service. Yahoo! made a free
    e-mail service. AOL did so too. Each with their goods and bads, their limitations and restrictions.
    Until the savior came. Google decided to do the smart move and make a revolutionary kind of e-mail.
    Starting off with their beta program that made use of invitations, many people (including me) found
    the truly amazing experience and the easy to use interface of GMail it's key points to lead the
    e-mail game. GMail kept spreading like mad. Then, account creation went l...

    when you have 3 new messages in your inbox, and then 56 bits of spam? and then you have to manually
    head to the spam folder, and delete them all? i know gmail offer you a lot of space and i know the
    spam messages get deleted after 30 days, but for me it is a phsychological thing: i...

  19. Multiple Gmail Accounts As Free Online Storage? - (8)

    you're lucky, you get some free gmail invites to be sent to your friends when you open a gmail
    account. Now if you just keep sending the invites to yourself, you'll end up with lots more
    gmail accounts, isn't it? (I've tried it, you CAN create multiple gmail accounts by inviting
    yourself) And that means more storage space if you use each account to store 2 GB of things right?
    Could it possibly rival other premium data backup services online, most importantly...
  20. Microsoft Says Gmail Is A Virus - (65)
    QUOTE It seems that Microsoft has started flagging Gmail as a virus in their virus scanning
    software Windows Live OneCare. Many people are reporting that every time they open Gmail, a warning
    is displayed telling the user they are infected with "BAT/BWG.A". Now, either Gmail is a virus, or
    Microsoft is generating false positives. Some affected by this "virus" say other anti-virus products
    do not pick up the infection — to me, this is a bit suspicious. So who should be responsible for
    fixing the problem? Either Google can wait for Microsoft to update their virus def...
