Thanks to the endless generosity of Stephen, I have a GMail address now. I don’t plan on using it much; it’s more a status symbol and emergency backup, at least until they have IMAP support. Right now everything sent to it just gets forwarded to xorph@xorph. (I’m not going to spell out the new address, but if you know my Hotmail address, you know my GMail address too.)

Anyway, I’d like to give out invitations to the five remaining people on the planet who don’t have GMail (ie my roommate and some of my alter egos), but I haven’t gotten any yet. Does anybody know if there’s a specific interval at which you get invitations? Or if you have to view a certain number of ads, or send a certain number of messages, or anything?
