Looks like I have no friends to give these things to. I have 4 to give away if you want to email me at [moofie.cicero@gmail.com](mailto:moofie.cicero@gmail.com) I could double my circle of friends here. šŸ˜› ---

> [@clairobscur](#): > > Could someone explain why these ā€œg-mailsā€ are so sought after? What are they, exactly? G-mail is Googleā€™s web-based mail system. You get 1000 MB of free storage. I havenā€™t gotten any spam at all so far, and Iā€™ve had my account for a few months. There are no banner ads to clutter up the page; instead, Google shows a few sponsored links that match the words in the subject of your e-mail (I think)ā€“these are similar to the sponsored links you get on the right side of the screen when you do a Google search. This is where words fail me, because Iā€™m no technophile, but it just seems to work _better_ than other web-based mail systems Iā€™ve used (Hotmail, Yahoo, my university e-mailā€¦); itā€™s more user-friendly and manageable. Itā€™s invitation-only at this point; you canā€™t just go register. Maybe someone more enlightened will explain more. ---
