Gmail Open for all
Google has dropped the invitation-only policy for its Gmail service and made the free e-mail service available to anyone.
Gmail was invitation-only when it launched on April Fool’s Day in 2004. It opened to the public on Wednesday, Valentine’s Day. Gmail competes with free e-mail services offered by rivals Yahoo and Microsoft.
Amazing.. Story on RTE.
Vote Google for ruler of the world!

I just think that the sheer size of the storage capacity that they are offering, effectively for free, on a global scale is amazing.
I don’t want Google to really rule the world.

If Tom Raftery is correct, Gmail has 51 million users (over 20% of Hotmail’s numbers) while still available only by invitation.
Now that’s amazing
