would anyone like a gmail account?

I have some to give away email me joewigwam(at)gmail.com or just post your email here and I will send it to you.

Please don't get these to sell :roll:

 

At your own risk.

 

not sure about the gmail thing?

or was it me, I'm pretty sure I used deodarant today *smells under arms to be sure

 

Just click the link and decide for yourself.

 

More paranoia from the Gmail Is Creepy Guy.

More on the paranoid dude.

Somebody needs a tinfoil hat.

 

Thanks nobodie and canis. Definitely some interesting links there.

canis

yeah but that doesn't mean he's wrong just gives him a motive to say these thing even if they are untrue. I don't know but if it's even remotely true that google has the right to retain ownership of my emails even after I delete them if I choose to do so I may delete the account.
Definitely something I want to look into more again thankx for the links.

 

Search for something like "gmail creepy paranoid".

 

The real question is why the hell they think that gmail is creepier than any other e-mail or postal mail service. All of those give opportunity for privacy breaches that are just as reasonable as gmail's.

 

I have tons of accounts I can give away. Does anyone really want one?

 

Having a gmail account was a nifty thing for some of the really initial time, but now there are enough invites all around that it might as well just have registration on the front page. Although the invite system might be a better way to do it.

 

i don't understand. what's so great about a gmail account?

 

You can make innuendo laced jokes about them.

 

I'm still hoping that someone comes out with p-mail.

 

You get 1 GB of free storage, and an advanced filter system and a great search.

Hotmail gives you 2 MB's.

 

i don't need that much storage, anyway. i delete my messages as soon as i get them...

 

But... with g-mail... you' won't have too...


I'm not going to use g-mail, because I know a few years from now, I'll have a 999 megabytes of e-mails archived, and it will be time for me to go through them and figure out which to delete and which to save... and... <shudder> no thanks.

 

So just delete the messages as you would normally instead of archiving them. Despite what that "Gmail Is Creepy" site says, it's not difficult at all to delete messages permanently. I delete everything I don't need just because I like to be tidy, even though I have the room.

I like it because it's a clean, simple interface with minimal ads, because it doesn't put any ads in your outgoing messages that I can tell, because I haven't yet been overwhelmed by spam like in my Yahoo account, and because I got a spiffy username.

 

I'll take one if you have any left.

 

Enjoy.

 

Thanks. I edited my email out so that email harvesters won'tpick it up. Should've added a nospam thing in it in the first place.
