You poor, poor hotmail/yahoo/AOL users don't know how pathetic your previous existence will be until you have a Gmail Account.

And I have a couple to give away.

First will go to whoever can answer the riddle, What is odd with the paragraph below?


"This a most unusual paragraph. If you can find out what is wrong with it, Gmail is for you. You will probably not crack it out on first go, but you should try anyways. It is a most unusual paragraph, and it is doubtful any paragraphs such as this could win you a gmail invitation. First to post a solution wins."

I've already got one. It's alright. It would be better if it worked with Outlook.

A comma or an "is" is required in the beginning, between "This" and "a". I've heard Gmail is excellent, my mom has one. and how do you get invitations? like do you get a certain amount when you join?

I would do nothing. Just wait for a kind person to hand out a invitation thingy.

Gmail is in Uppercase, and then it appears lowercase.

What I said is true though, for proper grammar. What is it then? Is it that it's in quotations?

Correct. If you give me your email, I'll send you an invite.

I've got an account also. How long does it take to get invites? I've had it for quite a while, and nothing so far...

Hey, I had a couple and just noticed them today. Look at the left of the Gmail screen, right below labels, that's where they are.

Google Mail. no graphic ads, let you filter, serach and sort your messages, and w whole load of good features.

Oh, and a Gigabyte of storage, so you never have to trach an email, ever.

It's quite sad really. What people will do to get one. They are auctioning them off on EBay, its really crazy.

I want one. My dad is one of the biggest investors in Google, he helped start it up. Actually, my dad taught the founders at Stanford, and Google was founded on my porch. And I'm not lying, you can check the news, his name is David Cheriton, and Kmart can vouch for me. But don't ask why he can't get me an account on Gmail.

Okay, one more. This one is a bit more difficult, but should produce an answer quickly.

Where is Google planning to put employees in a few years?
(They announced this on the same date as Gmail.)
