Google keep giving me gmail accounts to give away and it's going to get to the point where I have more gmail accounts to give away than people I know - which is slightly embarassing...



So if anyone wants one let me know your email address and I will see what I can do. In case you are unaware gmail is Google's new internet email service. The big advantage is the massive 1GB of space to play with, but you also get a nice clean interface and it has the clever idea to group responses to emails into what they call converstations instead of having masses of emails titled 'RE: re: re: something or other'.



The downside? Well privacy advocates get all wound up about Google putting adverts into emails based on there subject - but they've been doing that for ages based on searches with Google and has it bothered anyone? Plus it's a machine doing it, and it's far less annoying than how Hotmail or Yahoo plaster banner adverts everywhere. And when they do eventually take over the world I'm sure you will be in there good books if you have a gmail account!
