Default Has anyone ever heard of Gmail

Gmail (googles aproach to email), in my opinion, is incredible...
I want to here some more opinions and if anyone wants an invite just send me your email and I will give you one...

An aproximate 90% of all users on this forum has a Gmail account. I don't like it, but most do.

I would of thought more than that, as more than 90% of the members here would of been in touch with the internet and come across with it.

It was a great marketing tool releasing it on April 1st, so people thought it was a April fools joke

I use yahoo as my main mail though, as it is too much wasted time transfering everything to it - msn, online shops, forums, not worth the extra space.

I just use an account with my ISP. No hassles and POP. I have gmail as an alternate account though, for regestering with sites I don't want to have my "real" address.

Cause my mail service supports larger attachments, better spam control and it doesn't block certain file types. I am using GMX.net 1GB.
