For the past few days, I have been using Gmail. I now have a few invitations.
I think this is a very smart type of viral marketing by the gmail group. What better way to get people to start using your product than restricting initial invitations? Then everyone in the initial group invites their friends, and it becomes cool, and people check it out rather than saying “oh just another webmail application.”
I’d be interested in an invite if you’ve still got any available. I’ve been reading about the keyboard navigation which totally sucks with most webmail interfaces and it sounds pretty cool. I’m curious to see if it clobbers other Linux applications especially Emacs since it is one step away from becoming a window manager. I’m also curious about the spam filtering capabilities as I’ve read conflicting reviews of its effectiveness.
