They’re shiny. They have 1 gig. The domain is new, so if you get in early, you get your ideal e-mail address. They smell like puppies. ---

> [@Vision of Love](#): > > Anyone know how many active Gmail accounts there are now? There are over 5,000 active e-bay auctions with GMail in the title and almost 12,000 completed auctions. I broke down and bought my account a few weeks ago. At that time there were only a few thousand completed GMail auctions. In the last week there seems to be a new flood of invitations going out. So what I’m saying is I have no idea how many accounts there are 😕 , but it looks like they’ve exponentially increased the number of accounts in the past week or so.
