Gmail VS Hotmail

[Colonel_Worf]

I just use Yahoo... sometimes I hate it though.

[Dunenewt]

My Gmail doesn't work because it says ActiveX controls are disabled even though they're not :S

[VigilVirus]

I have 5 invites. PM me if you want one.

[Dunenewt]

I bet some people have sold invites on E-bay.

[Emperor Harkonnen]

hotmail is the best because with hotmail you can use msn messenger. this program is used by most of my friends when they are online therefore I think that hotmail is the best.

[Dunenewt]

You can use MSN Messenger with any e-mail address.

[Kiyouta]

How do you actually find this 'G-mail'... there is nothing in google.com.

EDIT: Actually forget it... I'm stupid.

[Andrew]

You have to get an invite to use it.

www.gmail.com

But you can't get one there.

I have 12 invites. :P

Guess I could give a couple away if you want one.

To get one you leave your email address (preferably one where gmail will get thru junk mail to you) so make sure you have cleared you junk mail so to not delete it.

And yes you can use ANY email address with messenger, so don't think that you need hotmail to use messenger.

[Kiyouta]

How comes you got an invite?

[Andrew]

Cause My friend got an invite and sent me an invitation, thus once you sign up, gmail gives you invites to give to friends.

[Kiyouta]

Oh ok.

I have 12 invites. :P

Nah, my e-mail is pretty much junk free atm. I don't really need another e-mail address, considering I also still sometimes look at my old Hotmail account. I don't really want to look in 3 places to collect messages :O. Thanks anyway tho.

[Andrew]

I currently have 3 hotmail accounts, 2 gmail, one yahoo (I never used, you just needed a yahoo account to do something don't remember it now) and another email account I don't think I use. Oh and a university email account I also use.

It's fun checking all of them to see if I got new mail. :P

[Cyborg]

Well, if you want to give away an account, then I'm always there to accept it.  :)

And if you need my email:

jeg_er_mannen@hotmail.com

[Dunenewt]

You haven't added me to you new one :(

[Andrew]

You haven't added me to you new one :(

Was that directed to me?

I only have dr_cyborg as msn contact.

And I sent your invite Cyborg. Didn't know your last name :P

[Cyborg]

No problem there.

Sorry about not adding you all to the address I specified there... Don't know why.

Just add it then  :)

And thanks, Andrew, for inviting me!

[Terror]

well, i heard Gmail looks into your e-mails and uses keywords from your mails to sell for spam senders. I haven't heard the complete story but so far people were pretty negative about gmail so until i hear better news i'll definetly stick with yahoo mail

[Cyborg]

GMail checks your emails for words that appear often.

That way, it can tailor ads for you.

I recently went from Webmail (a free South African e-mail service) to Gmail, and Gmail's better (1 GB storage - WOAH!).

But I can't believe Hotmail gives you only 2 MB storage. Even Webmail gives you 10!

(No e-mailing me for invitations! I'm not giving them out willy nilly!)

How does ..anyone.. get an invitation in the first place.

It's like:

GMail invites random people, they happen to be your friend, then you get an invitation from them ??

[lowzeewee]

I think you are allowed to invite 12 of your friends and you pick them yourselves.

[Cyborg]

You're allowed to invite six friends.

I think so, yes. And so it goes, on and on and on. 1000 MB! Woohoo!

And, yes, you're allowed to invite six friends.

Gmail looks well enough, although some sites are quite critical of it. Check http://gmail-is-too-creepy.com/ for instance.

[Super-ness]

"thank you for registing on some website"
