Gmail invites

[GavinZac]

I just think outlook is handier, I leave it open and it automatically checks for E-mail every 10 minutes or so, it's just handier than having to log in every time. I can still use the webmail all the same though.

get yourself FireFox browser or indeed any of the numourous gmail "you've got gmail" checking programmes flying around this interweb for free

I use firefox, is that one of the add ons for it? I'll have a look around over the weekend then.

I do too but found the standard gmail notifier on the gmail site does the job and is handier. I wouldn't bother with the extension.

i've got 48 invites left, after they gave me 50 i invited Trina and benedictxvi@vatican.va

I doubt he'll react on that invitation, but I must credit you: it's highly original

Incase anybody justs wants a webmail a/c with 1gb of storage. Yahoo mail now does...

[macdermesser]

yep .. at least for those of us living in German speaking countries, yahoo will save you the embarrassment of telephone conversations when quoting your email address as blahblah at gaymail.com

[Gerrit]

It's just Hotmail coming way behind... 2 MB for those who didn't do the address-in-Florida trick... I am still stuck with 2 MB, don't use it too much though.

I've got what I need with Gmail and Yahoo. Will have an additional one with my own domain as soon as I found a decent and affordable webmail/POP provider to point my .com domain to.

any chance I could get my own @Gerrit.com e-mail address? They could become huge on foot.ie

[Gerrit]

I don't even get that myself unfortunately, as the domain is registered Idem for gerrit.net and gerrit.info

I had some interest in extentions such as .tv, .co.uk, .ie, .cc but they're either not international enough or either too expensive (.tv costs you at least 30 bucks a year and that's without any additional services such as URL forwarding or CNAME creation)

[dahamsta]

Play around with this. Gerrit.to is €50/year, but has a nice ring to it.

I do hosting, but I ain't cheap.

a nice 'ring' ? I am a bit doubted about these domains of tropical islands.

TO really means Tonga, and using it for other countries is a bit weird, unless you have nice combinations such as fly.to, surf.to, go.to, want.to, etc but these were almost all purchased by V3 who now gives away free URL-redirections.

It seems CC is being promoted as an alternative for COM or even as CreditCard, NU is popular mainly in Sweden as if it would mean New, and VU even promotes itself as Virtual User...

I like TV as an exception: easy-to-remember for everyone, and makes sense for websites containing some media files or pictures. But the costs are huge...

[dahamsta]

All of those ccTLD's you've listed are almost identical in that most have been leased out to third party operators to take advantage of their "attractiveness". Very few of them are operated from the islands themselves, since the islands have very poor connectivity, if any. the only difference between TV (Tuvalu) and TO (Tonga) is that TV has more value because the TV companies are suckers for them. It's also operated in a slightly different way, in that valuable second-level strings are assigned automatic (obviously higher) price levels.

(I'm a domain registrar, I've been doing this for nearly ten years.)

gerrit if you are looking to setup your own domain, you should think a little further ahead. if you have a decent box and a broadband provider, depending on the amount of traffic you envisage, you should turn your own machine into a server. that way you can have as many addressess as you like. just look about getting a static ip address. you dont necessarily need one, but it makes things a hell of a lot easier. www.dydns.org (sic) is a good place to look about. have a look at this site for a start before you commit to anything, they also have a very good forum with regular users.:

THX. As this is off-topic and may interest many... starting new thread.

[Macy]

Anyone want to mail me a G mail invite, as I should be online at home soon?

Ta.

Edit - Cheers dahamsta

[Réiteoir]

I have a few invites as well - and am willing to donate them to the cause.

Email me at: worcester.city.researcher@gmail.com if interested

[jofyisgod]

I'd highly reccommend it, i got mine of Ruairi a few weeks back. They're great-much better than Hotmail.

I have plenty so email me: albatross129 at gmail.com
