get your own gmail account may 17

[bytech]

Cheers all,

We've got one gmail account to give away to the members of our forum. If you are interested, we have the details at http://forum.bytechcanada.net/viewtopic.php?t=1435 .

Deadline for entries is May 17, 2004.

Regards,
Slawek

NP, thanks. Wasn't sure.

Nice idea ... and quite an attractive offer ... But instead of a draw, if the poster with the maximum number of quality posts was given the account, perhaps I would have entered too ...

[bytech]

Well, we've got members with 500+ posts, and if we were to give to to the one with the most posts, new members would have no chance at winning. 20 posts gives you the max entry level, so you can get the best chances possible, with little effort. Right now we've got about 10 members entered at full level, and the contest is very short (no one knows when everyone will be able to get one of these at a whim, so we're not going to wait too long )

... Naaaaaaaah ..... me not interested in gambling .... ..... By the way, how is the draw going to be? How transparent is it?

Mau I ask how you got your hands on a gmail account?

Just me and a witness... that's all. Putting the names into a hat type of thing...

By hacking Google. But seriously, I do some work for them, and got a gmail beta account with two invitations for others. One I gave to my GF, the other I gave to one of our members, but he turned it down. So, I'm doing a raffle.

Sweet. I think I may already have 20+ posts, I'll have to check.

[bytech]

BTW sxy, if you beat the number 1 poster, and yer stuff is half decent, the account is yours. Top poster not including myself is sitting at 603 posts. He hasn't added much lately, something like 10 posts a week. That is roughly 85 posts a day. Feel up to it?

Than just make sure yer E-mail addy is rite, or you won't get the invite when I send it.

[bytech]

BTW, it looks like we'll have 4 more to give away in the next couple of weeks. No guarantees though. Anyone with 20+ posts on our forum will be entered into those draws as well.

Got me all wrong mate ! I meant the highest poster since the day the competetion began. ....

So what work have you done for Google ?

[bytech]

Ahh... Well, if you started to leave everyone else in the dust, no one else would bother to participate. Hehehe...

Google Answers is one of the project I do for Google... answers.google.com . Rest is under NDA.

[PhilC]

Ah ... one of their researchers eh ... Good ... Now I know who to show my ire at when GA shows some quirks ...

So if he beats 603 posts, you'll just give him the account no questions asked?

[John Scott]

Why wouldn't a person just wait and register a g-mail account for themselves?

Just curious.

[Pimpen 2010]

this way you have one before hand...

[bytech]

Yeah, it is still in beta, so you can't get one yet. They gave us these a month ago or so, and now we can invite a couple other people.
