GMail invites are 10 a penny (I think I have about 15 in total to give away) but everyone I know has got one and most of them have got multiple invites to give away too. So how come there are still people looking for invites?
It's now become the trend on many sites to give away a GMail invite as a prize/freebie to get people to comment on a piece. I think I'd pack in blogging if this blog was so boring we needed to give stuff away to get people to comment!
Anyway let's chop this evil practice off at the knees. The isnoop site accepts gmail invites and doles them back out - to anyone. For nothing. So if you haven't got one check it out. If you've got spare invites consider sending some at least to isnoop.

I tend to think it's just a "Status Symbol" for most people..
And mostly for the "Kids", since that's what I am seeing on the G4TechTV Forums..
Anything "Free" is good and they like "Free Things"..
We like free too. :)
The linked site should be able to help remove the status symbol side of it - if everyone's got one that wants one no one else will be able to do a 'please comment and I'll give you a gmail' post and might have to write something interesting instead. Shock! Horror!
Stumbled accross your blog, and noticed the gmail section. For your reference and everybody asking you for invites, I found a swaps site that has a gmail section, and several of my friends have received invites there. The link is : www.swapxchange.tk
Hope that helps somebody out.
