Isn't Gmail the one that reads your incoming mail "to protect you"? Read the fine print, people.

Aren't you paranoid, Mxy? They (being a computer, not a person) "read" the messages in order to suggest links to check out. I'm not too worried, but then again, I'm not a superspy.

When I go to send invites, it asks for a first and last name and an e-mail address. I imagine that the name doesn't have to be your real one, but they probably want it since we are all beta-test monkeys. You can send that info to me in a PM if you don't feel like posting it.

For those who don't know, Gmail is Google's webmail. You get 1GB or space and they have applied Google's search engine to your mailbox (no, that does not mean that anyone can find your mail in normal Google searches, you just get the same functionality). I am not in love with their interface, but having a gigabyte to dump my mail archives in nice.

Yea, that's why I keep my hotmail account for all my top secret dealings with the soviets.... What it does is scan for key words to weed out spam. There aren't acctuall people sitting in a room reading through your mail to see what you're up to or who you wanna take to the prom. If you're dealing with anything super secret you prolly shouldn't use a web based e-mail anyway.

I got my invite and signed up today. I'm not sure if I'm ready to change everything to that account yet.

Sadly enough, I am pretty sure that invites have been showing up on Ebay. The only way to get an account is to be invited. However, since the beta has been going on pretty long and each member tends to get a long of invites they are allowed to make, it is becoming more widespread, and therefore less valuable as something you can charge dumb people for.
