Gmail swap

I just learned of a site called Gmail swap where those who are looking for a GMail account can get one, and those who have an invitation to give away can something for it.

The thing is, I searched for an invitation and ended up getting 4 within a few days. Since then, I've gotten three more, but of course I've given them all away now.

My point is, you don't have to give up a whole lot if you're willing to do some leg work on Google.

A new version of Blogger

Wow, there's a new version of blogger and it looks pretty slick. One of the biggest new features is that comments are now supported. No more need for Haloscan.

Still trying. Why not?

I hear Blogger is coming out with a new version later today. That should be fun.

I don't think they're updating the list of invited bloggers, no matter how much I post. I'll have to settle for the for GMail invitations I received.

Can you believe that I received four GMail invitations after my invitation hunting spree?

I gave the other three away, but I'm still plugging along with this, just in case they decide to consider me active.

I have a theory though. In order to determine activity, they may be determining how often people posted since they signed up, and since I signed up so long ago (November 2001) I could post lots of times and still have my posting rate at something like once every three weeks.

Then again they may be using an entirely different algorithm, or not be refreshing the list of qualifying blogs.

Who knows. All I know is that I got my GMail account. Finally.

This isn't working.

I really like GMail.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I got a GMail account invitation and I am now a GMail user.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwww!

Yippeeeeee!

I spent a whole lot of time searching the web for people with extra GMail invitations and I found a few, but so far, no responses.

Don't worry, I'm still posting here (with Mozilla) in case they consider me active.

Until then, the hunt for an invitation continues.

More posts to prove I'm active don't seem to be doing the job.

However, I'm not losing hope.

One day, I hope to figure out how to get a GMail account.

Until then, I will continue to post here.

I have a new theory. Maybe they're checking the browser that I'm using and if it's not supported by GMail, they're not sending me an invitation. Thus, I'll be writing all my entries using Mozilla from now on.

Maybe it will work.

Still waiting.
