What's so special about G-Mail that you need an invite? Is it really that good?

2 gigs of space (and growing), mainly. However, I assume the invite thing was put into place so they could control how many people were using Gmail, as it was (still is?) in beta mode.





I don't think you even *need* an invite anymore. A link for getting at account is hidden around somewhere, I'm sure. ;)

Gmail is great and you need an invite because it is still in Beta test phase. The new Y!Mail is not bad either...

Reply:I think sending invites is the fastest way of propagation. Mathematically speaking, it would follow an exponential rise. For eg. Google gives 100 invites to every new user then, each user can invite 100 others who each in turn can invite 100 others. I also think it would ensure that most of the Google users would be heavy e-mail/internet users.
