One word (two syllables): Gmail.

Everyone's talking about it, and it's very amusing for me to see how completely against Google and Gmail some people are. I responded to a friend's offer at a forum for invites a couple of hours ago, before I had any idea that there was even a hype surrounding gmail.

Contrary to what is apparently many people's opinions, I did not ask for an invitation so I could feel cool. I did not ask for an invitation and offer my services to little old ladies crossing wet streets in return. I did not beg and plead. I did not bribe with $125. I just asked.

Why did I ask? Because I was curious. I was wondering what an email service provided by Google would be like. I am still curious, really. I don't get all the angry blog entries people are posting across the net. What's the big deal? Truth is, there is none. You are making it a big deal by posting about it. Yeah, yeah, I know -- I'm posting about it, too. The difference? Simply: I don't care. They do.

Gmail, Gmail, Gmail. I'm part of a conspiracy, trying to get my blog to appear as #1 on Google searches, you know. Gmail, Gmail, Gmail. Oooh, ahhh.

Who cares?

I'm probably only going to use it to keep spam off my real email account, anyway, which my father happily hosts.

Gmail, Gmail, Gmail.
