twenty4.org Gmail Giveaway

Gmail LogoElizabeth Howell started it all off again by donating 6 invites to the readers of my blog as she has done many times before. Andy & Benjamin then donated 6 each and then everybody started donating — So I figured why not run the Great Gmail Giveaway?

If you’re still without a gmail email account, feel free to leave your full name and email address in the comments and we’ll see if we can “hook you up” with an invite.

Thank you to all the donators for their generousity.

    Thanks Chris and Elizabeth for sorting me out, this is quite exciting setting it up.. gotta choose an email address though, that’s the hardest part!

    What if someone chooses the one I want while I’m thinking about it! Excuse me I gotta get out of here.

  20. Chris

  21. Paco Nueda

    Thanks.

    Greetings to everybody!

  22. Chris 

    Paco,

    A gmail invite is on it’s way to you courtesy of Benjamin.

  23. Tor Bjornrud 

    I’ve got 6 invites as well to donate to the cause if you’re having them. I happened on this site by way of Randy Peterman’s recent endorsement. Nice blog. :)

  24. Chris 

    Thanks Tor.

    I’ve sent you an email.

  25. phantompenguin 

    Well,if Ben’s going to, I may as well too. In the interest of making this the coolest (or at least the biggest) free Gmail invite giveaway ever, I proudly donate the six invites I have as well.

    … *cough* If you want them, at least.

  26. Chris 

    Thanks Phantom. :D

  27. Paul Michael Smith 

    My god! I remember when people were buying them or actually swapping prized personal possessions for a gmail account! Now people can’t give them away.

    The invite system is brilliant though, they get to see who everybody is talking to, what they talk about, when and how often. I have a gmail, I invite joe, who invite john we all talk about iPods and soon we are all getting targetted ads for iPod accessories!

    I think google are very, very clever. They have the largest blogging site/service, the king search engine, the soon to be largest and best email service, one the largest advertising systems and not the mention the social networking stuff “orkut” or whatever it is called and a ton of other clever stuff. No wonder Microsoft is worried, I only hope after the float that they keep the same attitude and outlook about the net and it’s users.

  28. phantompenguin 

    Not sure if it’s of any significance (it was worth a laugh to me when I first saw it, anyway :P), but I do in fact have a real name: Joshua Lee. You actually sent me an invite the last time you did one of these giveaway things.

  29. Chris 

    Your quite right Joshua… I just thought you’d prefer to be known by your alias.

    I suppose it did look a little out of place though. :)

  30. Alan Bui 

    Joshua Bang Lee,
    Give me a GMail, gg no re thx

  31. Chris 

    On it’s way Alan.

  32. phantompenguin 

    A friend wanted one, so I’ve five left. And I think this Alan Bui fellow might be asking for a Gmail invite directly from myself seeing as how I know him directly and did send him here (although I don’t know where he came up with this “Bang” business since that’s not my last name).

  33. phantompenguin 

    Bleh, and here he comes and hands me his e-mail address. So it’s been taken care of, and I have four invites left. I apologize for this business with the double-posting and all that.

  34. Chris 

    Joshua,

    I sent Alan a gmail invite, so do you have 5 or 4 left?

    Let me know and I’ll update the stats.

  35. Dulce Rose Lada 

    Hi!

    Mind if I’ll have one Gmail Invite?

    Thanks.

  36. Chris 

    Dulce Rose,

    I’ve passed on your details and a gmail invite should be with you soon.

  37. Enrique Segura 

    Could I have one invite too please?

    Thanks

  38. Chris 

    Enrique,

    Another invite on its way.

  39. Eric Kiara 

    Hope you have some invites left. Great site layout by the way (I’m _not_ brown nosing… well maybe a little)

    - emk

  40. Chris 

    On its way Eric.

    And thanks! :)

  41. Don Wren 

    Awesome background. I’d like an invite.

    Thanks.

  42. Chris 

    On its way Don and thanks. :)

  43. Peter Cannon 

    If you have any left, I’d love to have an invite.

    Thanks!

  44. Chris 

    1 invite on its way to you Peter. :)

  45. Joey Livingston 

    I’d also appreciate an invite. Thanks in advance, if there’s any left. :)

  46. Chris 

    On its way Joey.

  47. Curtis 

    Any left by chance? I would love to check out what all the hype is about. Thanks in advace.

  48. Chris 

    There’s plenty left and one is on it’s way to you. :)

  49. Jean Evans 

    I wouldn’t say no :)

  50. Lucy Yu 

    Hi Chris,

    Am I not too late to have one?

    Thanks.

  51. phantompenguin 

    Chris: Sorry about all this confusion - I’ve got four invitations left at this point, although I think Alan might have gotten two (one from each of us). Yeah, I’m an idiot.

  52. Eric Eggert 

    If there is one left, I’d like to have one, too.

    Thanks…

  53. Chris 

    Jean, Lucy, Eric - Your invites will be with you shortly. :)

    Josh, thanks for letting me know.

  54. Roborant 

    If there are any left whatsoever..

    Sharpturn2000@hotmail.com.

  55. Chris 

    Roborant,

    1 gmail invite will be with you soon. :)

    NOTE: Can people start leaving their Full Name as requested pretty please?

  56. phantompenguin 

    For the record, I’ve got six invites to use again because, apparently, the Google machine decided to give me two more. Again, sorry for all the fuss I’m causing.

  57. Chris 

    Josh, it doesn’t matter now as I’m not accepting any more donations.

    Once I’ve gotten rid of all the invites that are left I’m gonna call it a day for this “give-away”.

  58. Joe Woodhouse 

    Hi

  59. Chris 

    A gmail invite is on its way to you soon Joe.
