Download Mozilla. It’s a better browser than Safari anyway, and it works with gmail. I also have gmail (because I’m also special). yo.

Hey! I wasn’t offered Gmail! Where’s my slice of the American Dream?

Is anyone else picturing one of those weird, muscular, oiled men from greeting cards middle-aged women give each other every time you read the word “Gmail,” or is it just me?

Erm . . . I think that might just be you, Morphienne.

I sure hope so, anyway.

Eesh.

I have gmail through a friend of a friend who works for Google and they give away invites once in a while. I really like it, the fast navigation, sensible keystrokes and the spell checker is pretty damned wonderful.

I found your page through an livejournal.com user named ginmar.

Actually I think hotmail is an incredibly dumb name, it just go mainstream enough that no one thinks about it.

By the way, I think you’re actually special, PDP. I signed up with blogger today (I’ve been meaning to for a while, and your suggestion cemented it), but no GMail beta testing opportunity has been forthcoming thus far.

Ah well.

JRC, there is a link to GMail on the Blogger homepage sidebar (”As an active Blogger user, we would like to invite you to try out Google’s new email service, Gmail”). If you decide to “give it a whirl”, as they say, they will ask you if you agree that they transfer the information you provided when signing up with them (that is, your user name and your alternative email address) to GMail.

I just started testing it, and one thing I can add to what has already been said is that it makes Unicode writing and reading a lot more stable than Yahoo (you don’t have to manually switch the encoding all the time). At least, the messages mixing Greek, Chinese and French I wrote to myself appeared exactly as I wanted them to (under IE6).

And thank you, PinkDreamPoppies, for letting me know about GMail. I hadn’t been on Blogger for ages.
