OK, So I have 3 remaining gmail invites that I have been holding onto and I'm sure if I do not do anything about it now I never will. So I am asking all you out there for advice, and ideas as to what I should do with the invites.
I have thought about holding a contest but, then again that would not make a very good contest. It may have been a good idea when gmail was first announced but now...
I suspect that if I do not do somthing soon gmail will come out of its beta and start offering free accounts. Right now as I under stand it you can only get a gmail account by invite only!
Feel free to hit me with your most wacky (or sane) ideas! |

GMail in brief ...
Google (Please tell me your know what google is!) For about a year now has started there own web based email service! What's so different/special about that? There are providing 1000 megabytes! of email storage! Thats 1 gigabyte! GMail is still in beta so in order to start using GMail you need to be offered an invite to get a free GMail account.
Some existing GMail users are given the oportunity to offer invites to more people. I my self had a total of 6 invites bestowed to me and have given 3 away already, leaving me with 3 remaining. |

Hmmm OK, how bout making a game for all this (Plus a VB.NET upgrade guide CD not shown)...
vb.net 2003, Windows 2000 professional, windows 2000 server and windows 2000 advanced server, visual studio.net cd, A 100 page tutorial book adapted from the full book titled "Microsoft Visual Basic.NET step by step", I also got 3cds containing the MSDN library. Whos your daddy! Whos your daddy!
Who here would write a simple game for all this!
When do we start!!
Jordan, i sent you one, have fun with that one GB space ;) |

Unfortunately, the gmail rage has died down. I personally have an account and multiple accounts for my website. Gmail is good though. |

I had thought of that, but it seems like it would be a lot of work to do just for a gmail invite. But if I do I think I would specify the fallowing details...
- 1: Must be 1 screener game like classic games digdug, joust, burger time
- 2: Can use vb, vb.net with or without directx powered graphics. .NET framework makes drawing graphics quite easy.
- 3: Do not spend alot of time making this game! (it's just an invite... unless you really really want a gmail account) If it is going to take you more then 20 hours of work programming it, the game is to complex, and I'd say you are going overboard with it.
... these kinds of things. |

well yes... the contest isnt't bad... but ur thought is right... it was good when it was announced... i have an gmail account, already gived 2 and i still got 1 invite... but i will keep it for someday, i will need to give it for a very close friend or something :) anyway the other 2 i gived to mine fellows at work :D |
