I'm sure the majority of you will have heard of this and probably have accounts but if you haven't, let me introduce googles next step in taking over the universe.
It's called g-mail, a free e-mail service which they hyped up a lot because it has 1 gigabyte of available space (this is probably a large part of the cause of sudden increases in similar free e-mail services offered by hotmail, yahoo, etc., although none have been able to match 1 gb). The thing I like the most about it is that the replies in e-mails are all saved in one conversation, sortof like a thread with posts on it ;D. Also, the ability to search through your messages helps. All in all it really reminds me of an e-mail forum for you
It's in a beta test-release phase right now, which means that way back in like april or something they gave free accounts to a select group of people, and every couple weeks or so they decide to increase the # of people participating in the test release, so they give people with accounts g-mail "invites" which allow you to invite others to have an account.
More info can be found here:
gmail.google.com/gmail/help/about.html
or just searching gmail or something hehe
Also, I have a couple invites for you guys if you don't have a gmail account and want one
EDIT: If I wasn't clear enough, me and apparently SNK (and possibly others) have g-mail invites for you guys, so if you want one just PM one of us your e-mail address or post it here.
