06/18/2004 12:15 AMI keep reading about how morale is very low in Iraq and Afghanistan,
and how men and women in both theaters are having their tours extended
long beyond when they expected to come home. Thankfully, many of our
soldiers are able to stay in touch with friends and family via the
Internet . . . which brings me to the point of this post.
WWdN reader Drew sent me the following note earlier today:
I will send you an invitation for the hard to get Gmail if you post
something on your site telling others to give their invites to troops
in Iraq and Afghanistan. See, Google gives 1 gig of email space,
perfect for movies and pictures from home, but it's invite only. When
you get an account you will get invites too, and if you could pass
them along to those who need em that would rule.
I think this is a fantastic idea, and an easy, but very powerful way
for many of us to help support our troops.
GMail gives users
1 GIG of
free storage space, which is more than enough for pictures, movies,
sound files . . . all sorts of things that could help our servicemen
and women feel a little closer to home.
The thing about GMail is that it's currently invite-only, so I
e-mailed Drew back, and asked him if he had some sort of clearinghouse
set up for soldiers to submit requests for invites. He responded:
No, but about 10 of us are trolling www.gmailswap.com looking for
folks in the military. See, once you talk to one of them, they pass an
email along to fellows stationed with them, so we're just trying to
dole them out as we get the request.
There's no way to know how long Gmail will be invite only, but SGT Tim
Knowles in Afghanistan said that good morale is hard to come by out
there and in Iraq, and the guys are buzzing about the possibilities of
1 gig. They all seem to have hotmail and well it's weak.
I'm going to look into getting a site together or at least a list.
Of course, there are epic assholes online who will pose as soldiers so
they can get invites, but I think it's completely worth the risk.
So here is your challenge, WWdN readers: go forth, and seek out
soldiers who could use GMail invites. Help spread the word about this
effort, and keep checking back here for a link to the soon-to-be-built
clearinghouse for requests. If you're a designer, and you would like
to donate some time, or a host who would like to donate some space and
/ or bandwidth, send me an e-mail and I'll pass it along to Drew. If
you're a reporter, maybe you'd like to do a story about a bunch of
nerds who are working to do something cool to support our troops. If
you're a Google employee, maybe you'd like to come up with a way to
ensure that members of the armed services can get GMail acocunts, no
matter what. If you're a fellow blogger, you can link this post, or
the clearinghouse website when it goes live.
And of course, if you're a GMail account-holder, you can use those
invites that are piling up (I've sent out six in the last week) to do
something really cool for some people who are making an incredible
sacrifice right now.

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail
Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail
05/26/2004 01:35 PMLast month there was a lot of talk about the somewhat clueless move by
a California politician to create a law that would
ban
Google's Gmail offering, despite the fact that it was completely
optional to use. It appears that enough people (probably including
those at Google itself) sat down with State Senator Liz Figueroa to
explain how email works, and have convinced her to
tone down
the bill so that it now allows Gmail. That's right, the
anti-Gmail bill now has loopholes that specifically allow Gmail. In
other words, Senator Figueroa seems to have realized just how
pointless the bill was in the first place and is trying to save face
by adjusting it so that it still seems to have a purpose: banning a
bunch of things that no one was doing, like having humans read the
content of your emails to put in advertising.

Getting your gmail on
Getting your gmail on
06/17/2004 07:39 PMIs there any way to specify your default email app as a website in
a Windows XP system? Currently, my office workstation has an ancient
copy of Eudora I haven't used in years, but whenever I need to email
someone from my PC (I do all my email on a powerbook), I have to
copy/paste addresses by hand and use my mac or use Gmail.
It seems like there should be a way to tell firefox my default
email app isn't an app, but is instead gmail.google.com. Anyone that
knows of a way can have an invite to gmail. Or anyone that just wants
an invite can also email me and we can have this problem together.
Just ping me and I'll invite you
in.
EFF on Gmail

04/10/2004 03:46 AMOn EFF's Deep Links blog, some preliminary analysis of Google's Gmail
terms-of-service:
"People are entitled to know what kind of information Google will pull
from email, whether or not it logs this information, and for how
long," said EFF's Kevin Bankston. "Can your Gmail address or any other
personal identifier be linked to those logs, or to your Google search
history?"
"Gmail's privacy policy states that 'Google welcomes feedback on this
document and policy as the Gmail service is currently in an early
testing stage.' While that's a nice sentiment, we can't give
meaningful feedback until we have all the facts."
The remedy to the situation is obvious: Google needs to let us all
know precisely what the privacy/convenience trade-off is for using
Gmail, and soon.

03/17/2005 04:26 AMIt seems a lot of people are getting this message underneath the
Google search box: New! Get Gmail - Google's free email service with

Gmail in April 2004, we've been focused on improving the service,
relying on our users to spread the word and invite others to try it
out. The response has been great, and now we're ready for some more
Gmail users. [...] As we make room for more Gmail users, we want to
first extend invitations to Google users. We're still working to make
Gmail better, so for now, we're just inviting a small number at
random. Looks like that's you! We're really excited to share Gmail

leapfrogging of their competitors? (You've got to imagine that few, if
any, users will go past 1GB making this mostly a marketing gimmick.)

given three invitations but everyone who I know who wants an account
already has one. I imagine the big craze for offering people enormous
gifts and proposing amorous liasons in exchange for One Gigabyte of
Full-On E-mail Pleasure has passed, but if you can think of a reason
why I should invite you rather than just making three new accounts
with funny names, then post a comment below or chuck me an e-mail to
