Gmail Squatting







Gmail Squatting

Gmail Squatting 07/02/2004 09:55 AM

Google bans Gmail swaps and sales: Domain squatting is so 2001. The new trend, it appears, is Gmail account squatting. If you managed to get a good Gmail name, there's apparently a black market for selling them.

Google changed its Gmail membership policy this week to prevent people from profiting on the sale of popular e-mail names.

The changes are designed to deter people from creating multiple e-mail accounts with the purpose of reselling or trading...

Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail


Anti-Gmail Bill Now Allows Gmail 05/26/2004 01:35 PM
Last 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.

Anyone for Gmail?


Anyone for Gmail? 06/14/2004 06:10 PM

So anyway, I signed up for Gmail a while back and basically I don't really use it even though it's pretty well assembled and has some nice features and now I've been 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 my fairly guessable normal e-mail address (hint: it starts tom@) and I'll see what I can do...

The new POP service comes with authenticated SMTP as well, so without having to enable POP you can use smtp.gmail.com (enable SSL and use your regular gmail username and password) to send mail. I've been using it for a few days for some of my mail and...

Apparently "kicking it up a notch", Gmail now indicates that users have a full terabyte of disk space! Mine says: > You are currently using 437 MB (0%) of your 1000000 MB. Is this a mistake or a genius leapfrogging of their competitors? (You've got to imagine that few, if any, users will go past 1GB making this mostly a marketing gimmick.) [Dave Winer sees the same thing (screenshot)](http://www.scripting.com/images/archiveScriptingCom/2004 /05/18/terabyte.gif). Thanks to Logan Ingalls for the original tip....

The link is to a page that says: Since we launched 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 with you and we hope you like it....

EFF on Gmail


EFF on Gmail 04/10/2004 03:46 AM
On 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.

Getting your gmail on


Getting your gmail on 06/17/2004 07:39 PM

Is 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.

Beta testers invited by Google to take part in its new free e-mail service also received invitations to give to another person, but many are being auctioned on eBay, so far fetching bids as high as $61. [...]

Currently, 42 testers have listed their invitations on eBay, with one offering to sell an additional invitation outright — for a mere $199.

Gaming Gmail Ads


Gaming Gmail Ads 05/06/2004 02:28 PM
Oh, those crazy unintended consequences. TheRegister is pointing out that the contextual advertising aspect of Gmail may lead to some interesting business opportunities. For example, you could try to buy up the keywords around your competitor (or, better yet, if you can figure it out, their standard "signature" file in emails) and guarantee that any emails they send out come complete with advertisements for your company. Even more sneaky, they pick up on Karl Auerbach's suggestion that a company would process outgoing email to add to it certain keywords to guarantee certain advertisements would show up within Gmail. This seems a bit far-fetched, and I doubt it would be all that effective - either in getting the right ads to show in Gmail or in being a worthwhile endeavor for advertisers. I do think, however, that the issue of competitors' ads showing up in email may upset people much more.

Gmail Invites Flood The Market, Prices
Crash
06/10/2004 09:48 AM
When we first heard that people were actually paying good money to get themselves a soon-to-be-free Gmail account, we couldn't believe it. Who would pay for a free email account? Apparently, the answer is a lot of people. Either way, this week Gmail started giving out plenty of new invites, which has fl ooded the market and devalued the price. Still, it makes you wonder how those who spent hundreds of dollars on a simple email account feel now. Either way, it appears that Google is now a big fan of the "velvet rope" method of building buzz. Having set up both Orkut and Gmail with the "invite only" method of getting in, they've made them seem even more appealing. It won't be long before every other company tries the same sort of thing - though, it probably won't work nearly as well.
