On the off-chance that someone who'd like a Gmail account still doesn't have one... I have 50 invitations. Anyone want one? (For personal use only, please; no trading.)

The huge increase in giveaways suggests that it's going to go public soon. Woo.

I also got 50. Think they're planning to go public soon. (April 1st maybe?)

Chripes, I noticed that too.. 50 invites x 4 accounts = I have 200. TWO HUNDRED.

4 accounts? *reports you to Google for contravening their 'one account per person' rule* :)

The stats (http://isnoop.net/images/gmailomaticstats.png) are interesting...

Is that the number of invites people have GIVEN to them, or number of invites they have given to people?

I believe it's the number of invitations available at any given point in time.

So, from October to mid-December, any invitations they had were quickly snapped up, whereas in January they had more to give out... and in February, supply far outstripped demand and they had lots of invitations on hand at all times.
