How long must one use gmail before you can send out invitations? My girlfriend would like one and I’d like to send her an invite. ---

Come contribute to [101 things to do with a gmail account](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=4994436#post4994436). I got a little carried away with the first 6 invitations I recieved…I gave them all away at work. :o But I will cleanse my kharma and post to this thread as soon as I get more. ---

I didn’t get any invites today and in addition to the usage errors reported elsewhere and a funky javascript popup error message I got this morning it seems that they may have brought in enough people for whatever it is they are testing right now. Their system seems to be about at-capacity. ---

> [@jjimm](#): > > Wow, **alterego** , thank you SO much! What would you like me to send you from Ireland? Earlier this year I was priveledged to sit atop the Guinness brewery while sipping a perfect pint and enjoying a beautiful sunset over the city of Dublin. Couldn’t ask for much more than that 🙂 (Here’s some [pictures](http://br1an.net/alterego/view_album.php?set_albumName=album02) too). I have 8 invites left for today. Next 8 get em’! ---

Thank you alterego, you’ve made my day. Everyone: As soon as I get invites to send out, I promise to post here to offer some around. Please, no-one email before then though. Those buggers at Yahoo only offer a piddling 100MB of storage.
