Gmail is Google's new email service. It's been a pretty hot topic on many technology news sites lately. Unfortunately, it's still in beta, which means it isn't open to the public just yet. Existing users are given "invitations" so they can give friends a gmail account. I guess that's Google's way of doing a controlled rollout of Gmail. Anyway, if you really want one and don't have one yet, shoot me an email. I may just have an invitation I can send you.
