Have GMail, so now what?
Referencing the "Bored at Work" thread, I was combing through Craigslist and hit on a fresh post for four absolutely free, no strings attached, help yourself GMail invites (the post disappeared within 15 minutes). I emailed the guy and got an invitation, which I activated last night.
So now what?
Other than geek prestige while it is still in Beta testing, for what are folks actually using their GMail accounts? Replacements for spam-fried addresses, more storage, independence from ISP-related emails?
Just curious... Did we all want a GMail addy just because everyone else wanted one and not everyone could get one immediately? The lure of getting our hands on a reasonable screen name and not something like
janedoe467468574@emailservice.com?
Yes, it's cool, and yes, it's Google. But, why?
