I just nailed Gmail
Posted by trae_z on December 1st, 2004
Yep, I feel sort of nerdy cos I just became a Gmail account holder about a week ago. You sure must have heard of Google the search engine giants. And if you’re geeky or interested enough you must have heard about Gmail. It’s their new email service which is receiving rave reviews from Tech heads and critics. But the thing is that Gmail is not yet accessible to the general public, it’s still in testing mode. So those with the privilege of using the service were all invited to sign up based on their nerdiness: frequent users of Blogger, cyber-technology gurus and friends of Google. The good thing is that once you’re a Gmail account holder you can periodically send out invitations to your friends to sign up too. That’s how I signed up, thanks to kayode Muyibi. I got an extra IV from Chippla, gave that one out though. Well to be honest with you I’m still sticking with my Yahoo email. After checking out the services Gmail offers I’m pretty impressed but not impressed enough to treasure it above my Yahoo email. Their reply system is cool and the navigation from page to page is quite fast but their browser compatibility requirements are stricter than Yahoomail, so you can’t access it easily from all systems. Also they ain’t got no virus scanner for attachments, and font enhancement. Plus I hate the way their emails are displayed when you’re reading it (especially those from other email host like Yahoomail). Let’s just see how things go. At least I got Gmail so when tech nerds are running their mouth I can run mine too. If you want a Gmail invitation let me know…so I can send you one when I’m allowed to do so. That should be soon I hope.
