What rock have you been hiding under? Gmail is great. Over a gig of free email storage, spam blocking, etc. Great provider.

Over a gig? I just looked and it's up to 2.7g on my account. Or are you canajans limited in your accounts up there? :lol:
Yes, gmail is great. Switched from yahoo to gmail myself.
Yes, it is good.
But to get an account you need an invitation from somebody who has one; it is not simply a matter of going to Google's site and signing up.
Google also offers webmasters the ability to put a Gmail-powered service on their own domain. For example, if you have the domain CanadaIsCool.com, and you think other people would like an e-mail address of the form USERNAME@CanadaIsCool.com, you could apply for such a service.

Where does one apply for this? I think zbluh@alka.li emails would be cool... I can do redirects though my DNS provider but that's not as cool as having a funky gmail backend and whatever.
but you cannot simply switch to Gmail. You got to have text message them, but Canada is not listed, so you must have an invitation from someone who has gmail acount.

I have a gmail account and I didn't need an invitation to sign up I just went to gmail.com and signed up for an account back in 2005, but it might be different now. I love gmail even though it's not my primary email account.

now it's changed.
To sing up, one must text message them, if person's country is in the list. If it's not the case, like for Canada, we need to have an invitaion from someone who has a gmail acount.

Jesus man....i've had a gmail account for like....years now? I think I got this, yes, I got it in like January 2004. Anyway Jon, not new, not at all. Yes it's good, get it
I just realized that you STILL can't sign up for gmail, you need to be invited. If you give me your email address (your currenty one) Jon i'll send you the invite, i've got like 150 of them (i've been a user THAT long.

Here is where you sign up on Google's waitlist:
https://www.google.com/hosted
However, unless Google thinks many other people would also like an e-mail address based on the domain alka.li, I doubt they would approve it. After all, what's the point?
If you already own the alka.li domain, and only want a few e-mail addresses, it would be easier to just go through your hosting company.
I love me some Gmail. I like the email features and the chat feature within the email, so you don't have to have two windows open.
I don't have the messanger part on my pc (the one seperate from gmail) but i intend to. There are a shit load of other things you can download. If you go to Google.com and select next..you should get a list of things you can download.

Thanks for the tip. I applied for the Google Domain feature and got the instructions back within 24 hours. I have a block of 250 for my own domain. I doubt I'll need anymore and if I do I'm sure they'll oblige. Looks like a good networking tool.
