Remember when gmail was invite only?

What do you think

Good? or Bad? That they now allow sign ups from anyone.

Maybe this should be done with other mail sites [Yahoo, Hotmail] (invite only system) or maybe it shouldn't. Put your point of view across here.

It's pretty much the same just less choice in username.

GMail is probably the best email provider, I say.

I never realised Yahoo + Hotmail was invite only

They're not, he's asking if you think they should be.

Ofc not no. What would be the benefit of that :S

No. At least the people who were invited got a better domain - @gmail rather than open sign ups where it's now @googlemail.

Oh right.

Well they can't exactly change now, they're the most popular providers on the net.

It wouldn't make a difference.

ahh right :P I thought you got @gmail and @googlemail

I got an invite :D cant remember my @gmail address though :(

You still can invite people to GMail.

Ah, I regret not registering a shorter/nicer name when I was invited ages ago. O well :(
