Justify My Love

The bidding has begun!

Last week, gooooogle email (gmail.com) opened its doors to active bloggers! Thus informed, we (the velveteen dd, leigh cheri and i) ran, pell-mell, post-haste into the arms of google (taking off high heels, sneakers in hand and trying to put on the comfy pair while running for greater speed)! We can certainly do with that one gig of email!!!

Nevertheless, we still somehow remained ignorant of our extremely good fortune. Leigh Cheri's most-loved felt peeved that for the moment, as a non-blogger, the doors still kept him out in the cold non-gmail world :-D. After all, wasn't he the one who had told Leigh weeks ago about the impending new google email???? (And Leigh felt equally peeved at herself, having missed one "r" in her login registration, hehehe but that's another story.)

The velveteen's friend, long-time google fan Dahon's heart was broken. She so admired google and wanted to be in too. A pleading email from velveteen to google on her behalf proved futile, as even the blogger founder [thanks leaf, for pointing out the faux pas :D i want to be in google's good graces, and yours ;-)] had this to say in his blog -- Sorry, I can't invite everyone to Gmail just because you write to me. Especially if I don't know you. And that's true even if you created a Blogger account and/or are a long-time Google user. For one thing, I don't have that many invites. And for another, I'd never get anything else done.

But today, this invitation winked at me from within my gmail -- Invite a friend! Thanks for using Gmail and helping us improve the service. We're ready to expand our test to a few more users, and because you've been a trusted early tester of Gmail, we're looking for your help. Please invite a few more people who you think would like Gmail and could help us make it even better.

And I still have one more invite left for anyonewho badly wants in into intelligent email -- for one, you get to see your emails as entire conversations!

It's like the last brownie game in Notting Hill, says Leigh. Tell the mundane and the divine, why you deserve gmail? :D Just write to themundaneandthedivine@gmail.com. The best entry wins!

Winners will be announced on Monday, May 3.

Bless you all for we will email :D
