G-Whiz!

Today I got a GMail invite from a total stranger. Well, not exactly a total stranger, but before today I didn't even know the guy's name. Sam, who I've only seen at a few CS happy hours, is apparently closer friends with Raquel and Charlie. Through some sort of GMail-invite-osmosis, I ended up with one. Thanks again Sam!

Anyway, I don't want to waste my breath re-iterating all of GMail's features, so I'll sum it up: really really cool. It's like a mail client, only web-based, and without the suckiness usually associated with web mail clients. Also, GMail uses a lot of dynamic HTML and whatnot to put as much information into each page that you load. In other words, there are much fewer page loads, and the whole thing is a lot faster and polished than your typical web-mail client. Yahoo and the like are screwed.

PS - I'm jtucek.... you can't get a user name shorter than 6 characters, thus foiling my efforts to be tucek@gmail.com. So far, that's the only thing Google has ever done to annoy me. That and forgetting to change their logo on St. Patrick's day one year. What is it that they have against the Irish (me)?

I am now an elite nerd. Bow down before my gmail address.
