I have a gmail accounnnnnnnt.... la la la la laaaaaaaaaaaaa la laaaaaa la.
Why is gmail so fucking cool?! Figure this:
Hotmail gives me 2 MB of storage space. Gmail gives me not 10 MB, not 100 MB, not even 500 MB, it gives me 1000 MB!!!!! (a gig for all the hosers out there)
Gmail also has a lot of cool features, including that you get to view your messages more like an IM conversation than the traditional "email" look and feel. Sooooooo much easier to keep track of your messages. Plus, all that fucking marketing on hotmail was REALLY starting to piss me off. Flashing kangaroos here, high school reunion shit there. BAH! There's marketing on gmail but I didn't even notice it for the first hour, it's THAT discreet.
Now. Gmail is only in beta and so not just anyone can sign up for an account. You have to know someone who knows someone who knows someone. I happen to know Joe. I'm Joe's chocolate dealer. Which kind of makes me feel like I blackmailed him to give me the account. Well, showered with guilt anyway. I give him chocolate, he gives me a gmail account. Equal trade, no?
Oooooooooh, I'm the luckiest person EVERRRRR! Ooh ooh, look at me. I have a gmail account. Tra la la...

DAM! Just when I thought I was one of the cool kids.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't that 1000mb limit broken into ten 100mb chunks (or one hundred 10mb, I can't remember)? So you're not really getting a full Gb of space per se.
Are you going to follow the cool kids off to Google's Orkut too?
Broken chunks are for losers. I'm a winner, plus I'm cute, so they give it to me good.
All in one chunk that is :).
As for Orkut - that's faaarrrrrr too social for my tastes. Bah.
For this you don't need beta? Makes it all that much more worthwhile not having to know anybody.
