Conuk Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 I did this thread over at Ubi - I got 2 replies.... I wondered why ... (I had 50 invites...) looking into it ... apparently they store `unfavourable cookies` etc on ya pc... and link it with google. Bottom line is the email aint secure from government etc ... theres more to it - but I didnt bother reading the rest... Check it out in search engine. I gather thats why people didnt want an invite ? Anyways I got some left if people want one as well.. Congrats on the TrackIr Rekoal ;)
yamangman Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 It's probably due to the fact Google indexes the content of outgoing and incoming mails, type, text, pictures, the lot, and leaves some questions as to what could possibly be done with the data they gather. Read the small print.
VVanks Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 That's just bullshit to make you think Google does anything bad. It's stuff made up by Hotmail and Yahoo they can't keep up with Google's service. The data they gather is probably purely automated. It is more like a meta bot searching for wesbites so they index them in their search engine. I can't say this for sure, I'm only speculating because I like google, but I'm quite positive that Google's intent isn't to backstab their customers. Unlike Micro$oft... Anyways, I got 50 invites, anyone want one? Also, the reason why there were only like 2 replies is because everyone seems to have one already.

coldcrew Posted May 11, 2005 Posted May 11, 2005 because hotmail and yahoo already have 250meg email accounts that don't require an invite. Imho the invite system is outdated and lame but it's probably necessary because they can't go around really giving out 2gig email accounts to curious people or people who will use it as a spambox
