Remember when gmail was invite only?

[Zak]

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.

[James!]

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

[Jahova]

GMail is probably the best email provider, I say.

[Ardemax]

I never realised Yahoo + Hotmail was invite only

[Josh-H]

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

[N!ck]

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

[Ardemax]

Oh right.

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

It wouldn't make a difference.

[awelsh]

ahh right I thought you got @gmail and @googlemail

I got an invite cant remember my @gmail address though

[Flisker]

You still can invite people to GMail.

[Influix]

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