06/08/2004 Entry: "I've got gmail!"

I've got gmail! One of my net.friends hooked me up. It totally rocks! It's free, they give a whole gig of storage, and I'm an advance user! Right now membership is by invitation only. I was lucky enough to get an invite (Thanks, Lane!) and it's rapidly changing the way I read and view email.

Believe it or not, people are actually selling their advance invites on ebay. Some of them are going for over $100 a pop - for something that will eventually be open and free for all! However, there's some address name squatting. I wonder how gmail will handle the trademark issues.
