Title: [off topic] Gmail Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # [off topic] Gmail * [Ozh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozh/) * (@ozh) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/) * There are countless bloggers I’ve read recently who relate their Gmail experiments. Now, I’m just wondering : how the hell did these guys get a Gmail account, and who do I have to kill to get one myself ?

Remember, Google gobbled up Blogger some time back. * [carthik](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carthik/) * (@carthik) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-49492) * The second wave will be the referrers of the zeroeth wave, which consisted of handpicked invitees who need not have been blogger users. I am not too excited about having my email stored and analyzed by a search engine company, but then that’s just me. 🙂 * [Root](https://wordpress.org/support/users/root/) * (@root) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-49621) * I am quite excited about a gigabyte of space to store all my junk. * [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * (@sushubh) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-49637) * damn i need my invite… * [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * (@sushubh) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-50042) * i got mine! 😀 * [MaxT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxt/) * (@maxt) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-50045) * I still see nothing special in gmail… sure 1gb is good to have, but cmon, whom will use all that space? and for what? spam? lol… much better to have own domain and have personal mail instead of [something@gmail…](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/something@gmail...?output_format=md) just imho * [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * (@sushubh) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-50054) * its not about space. for me its about speed. for an average user, the speed to check mails and send mails matter. if you compare yahoo/hotmail with gmail u will know what i am talking about. * [MaxT](https://wordpress.org/support/users/maxt/) * (@maxt) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-50055) * I’ll compare when I get one test.account… * [Sushubh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sushubh/) * (@sushubh) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-50056) * hmm… if u promise not to change password i can give u access to an experimental account 😉 * Thread Starter [Ozh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ozh/) * (@ozh) * [22 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/off-topic-gmail/#post-50058) * There *has* to be a special treatment for WordPress community.

I have already consumed mine. Since I used one of the invit for my wife. I have been asking her if she got any invits. Seems like they have stopeed printing those invits. But any way gmail is great with those keyboard shortcuts and conversation concept. There are still few kinks but overall good.
