For some reason, they've seen fit to add such functionality to my account. They obviously did not learn from their first experience with me (kidding!)
Seriously, please comment below if you want a Gmail account. Then dig into the comments on your own blog, pick as many folks as you want, and send them a comment on their own blogs with the following message:
"Carmi's giving away free Gmail accounts at http://writteninc.blogspot.com."I'm hoping you'll all help me get rid of them as soon as is humanly possible.
And, yes, this is a shameless attempt to boost traffic. I'll try anything - except acid and other mind-altering substances - at least once.
But that acid that cleans the oil stains off the garage floor is OK.

I feel your pain. I sent out a gmail offer to everyone in my address book at one point and managed to get rid of 4 invitations. What the heck am I supposed to do with 50?
Find some new friends, I guess ...
...some will tell you that Coca Cola is good for oil stains in the drive way, too.
What is Gmail (besides being an email provider) and why is it so important to have an invitation and all that stuff? I've never understood that.
"I'll try anything - except acid and other mind-altering substances - at least once."
Oh, Carmi, I'm so disappointed. (NOT! ;-) Here I thought your prolific writing talent might be fueled, at least partially, by mind-altering substances. ;-)
Well, what the heck, might as well continue with this tangent.
I've had mixed feelings about drugs and alcohol being used as an imagination lubrication. Most of the time I end up accepting works created under the influence as just as worthy as those not. After all, having spent A LOT of time consuming mind-altering substances and hanging out with others doing the same, I can verify that not everyone in such a state can manage to be eloquent or otherwise creative. Rather, in the light of sobriety, often what they thought was so great when they were altered, is a mess. So, anyone who can manage to produce something praise worthy in that state, deserves the praise, in my opinion.
I think of Colerage's Kubla Khan, written on opium, as a god example.
As for Gmail, if someone were to explain how Gmail is any better than Yahoo Mail, I'd accept an invitation and check it out. But, I've been very happy with Yahoo Mail, my address book is there, would not fancy rebuilding it elsewhere, and I enjoy 2GB of space with ZERO ads for $10/year.
Hey! I'm visiting here from Michele's site...
Just saying hi.
And I'm totally with you on that crazy thing for Gmail. I have a few emails there, and it's like, oh my goodness. 50! I could barely get rid of three. :)
You mean, like this?
Mellie Helen's giving away free Gmail accounts at http://gollybloghowdy.com!Yeah, I've got 'em too. Want one, Carmi? ;)
I don't understand it. I suddenly have 100 invites! Why don't they just do away with the invitations and just let those who want to sign up?
Carmi;
Interesting comments re: Sony's proprietary formats you posted on Cynthia Webbs blog. I agree with some of them and disagree with others. BTW, wanna send me a Gmail account :) Thanks.
wearedoomed: I'd love to send you a Gmail invite, but you didn't leave your e-mail address in your comment. Your link leads back to a dead-ended site. Let me know and the invite will go out hastily. Hope to hear from you soon: that'll bring me down to 49 :)
Carmi perhaps those telemarketers from last week influenced you in a way you didn't expect? ;) would this be called gmailmarketing?
Carmi! Thanks for the offer of the invites. I took Anonymous Coworker up on his give away so I just signed myself up. I'll post something on my website for ya
Thanks for the possible invite for GMAIL. You can send it to diheedral@yahoo.com. Thans so much!
Is STUD4EWE@gmail.com still available? If it's not, I'd still like a gmail account anyway.
Yes the exclusivity og gmail has faded. I think I was only ever able to give away 2 gmail invites before. I may have to change my my Master Plan (to take over the world) as one of the steps required creating a core cadre of the Gmail Illuminate (Secret masters of the internet) can't have that if everyone has gmail.
I don't want one but I'll give you a plug on my blog... Maybe you'll return the 'favor'... :)
