Technically Speaking

It has been reported, Seattle Post-Intelligencer: Buzzworthy, that Google is randomly giving out Gmail accounts to users of their search engine. The above image depicts a link that you may see that allows the user to sign up for an account. According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, this is what Google has to say about the matter:

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.
