Fifty.

For whatever reason, Google has sent me 50 invitations to give away.

Apparently, the fact that I haven’t given any of the 6 I’ve been entrusted with for the last 3 months hasen’t disuaded them from giving me 50 now.

I don’t know why they don’t just release the damn thing - there are probably only 20 people left who want one but haven’t signed up yet.

However, if anyone wants one, they can email me at wayward at [gmail.com](http://gmail.com)

Ok, so both my accounts have been handed 50 invites.  
I’m not about to send myself 100 invites and post the links.

Take them, or I shall start doing stupid things with them.

Either the e-mail in my profile or Lcarscad at gmail dot com

If they’re giving them out in chunks of fifty, they must be pretty close to letting folks just sign up.

Yeah, thanks for that… (Bright side? At least I didn’t get a full half of them.)

Hey, guess what? I have 50, too. No wait, I have 49; I managed to give one away today (thanks for emailing me!).
