Anyone else think that all of the new google inventions being released are not just for the product itself, but for the IPO? the google gmail invite machine is getting over 1000 hits per second, and is using an amazing amount of bandwidth. Although it may be a publicity stunt, I am pretty surpried with all of the nice innovations google is coming up with, to expand it's market from just search engines.

Try this one on for size:

I've come to the resolve I've been beat
Looking for the simple word 1337
Don't think this one rhymes?
Try substituting minds
You have to be in the mode of geek speak

Please, if you give the parent poster an invite for his creativeness, can you consider me as well? Okay okay, I should have done something other than a limerick, but what can you do when you're pressed for time? You can contact me at gmailme at linuxathome com

and it now appears that my best chance to get an invite is to engage in unrewarded bar-press behavior until I get a lucky number. I should know better, but excuse me while I refresh this other page here a few thousand more times...

Or, not. The refresh time on that site is now down to 5 seconds a pull, and the RNG is dishing out numbers up to 100,000. So the expectation would be to get a "hit" once every...hey, let's ask Google...ah, 5.78 days. I think I'll try a different technique.

Here I am, a hardcore email user since...1986. I have sent more email to more people for a longer time than 99.9% of everybody, and I can't get a gmail invite inside of two months? Heck, I give one lecture per semester on the glories of Google. But what makes it extra-ironic is that I'm a psychology professor, and it now appears that my best chance to get an invite is to engage in unrewarded bar-press behavior until I get a lucky number. I should know better, but excuse me while I refresh this other page here a few thousand more times...

gee.. I have reloaded this site for a hundred times and I think a lot of /. is doing the same thing and its server going to melt.

Can someone send an gmail invitation to me? I will trash my hotmail and yahoo a/c in a heartheat. Thank you. jonearth@hotmail.com
