Google Opens Gmail To All

Posted by kdawson on from the get-yours dept.

Reader Russian Art Buyer lets us know that GMail is now open for all ("Google Mail" in the UK). The service is no longer by invitation only. This welcome page shows an ever-increasing amount of storage available per user, currently about 2,815 MB.

    I don't think so. With 99 invitations per user, I think everybody that wanted a GMail account could get one, I doubt there will be much more growth now. I have seen the invitation system as something that made you want have a gmail account. When the invitations were more limited, it was kind of VIP to have an account (actually, gave the feel of VIP only). Maybe this is the first step to end the beta stage of the service...

    I sent an envelope full of tiny monkeys to someone for my invite.

    Plastic monkeys. Ateles paniscus plasticus.
