GMail
Today.... No Comments »Having received a gmail account last week, I have had time to reflect. Here are some thoughts of mine.
First off, the interface is amazing. Written completely in DHTML, its amazing. Its like having a webclient like Outlook Express or Mozilla Mail in a web interface. I have heard of some problems accessing it because of the DHTML though.
The second thought that I have is regarding to the sign-up procedure. Invitation only is the way to get these elusive accounts (I have invites by the way). I think that google is never going to open gmail to the general public and only have it via invite. This makes it interesting.
I also set my mail server at work to bcc every email coming in and going out to my gmail account. This caused a few problems as the gmail SMTP servers like to reject a few emails which caused a bit of embarresment on my part (Imagine clients receiving a bounced email with your personal email address on it).
Now that my blog is finally working again, expect some more entries. More interesting than this one at least!
Enjoy
