I heard that Google keeps a record of every email you send, forever.

That's why a person I know didn't want to get it. [/quote]
I don't even think that's possible :huh:

I don't have to get rid of them but I feel like I am hordeing them otherwise, lol.

Somepeople won't get one because it "reads" your emails. A computer looks at them and picks up on key words then makes those text ads. This isn't really any viloation of your privay for two reasons. One is that a computer reads it and doesn't record it. It works a lot like Google news does. It searchs things for words, no context. That is why you once in a while you get faux news on Google news (i.e. Bush got arrest for war crimes in Canada last year, did you know? that was one of the bestest mess ups). Secondly, I don't think Google has any evil plans. If some guy is that bored and hacks the system to read my emails, pah. He will have fun they look something like this,

"You have a new Privite Message."

"Liz is not dumb"

etc. Nothing juicy.

Jamel, they just give the invites to you. I got mine after having the account for like a week. It might depend on how much you use it or something, I'm not sure (like if you check it every day, or e-mail with it once a day), but as far as I know you don't have to do anyting special. Like I said, I didn't get the invites right away, I kept telling my sister "Am I blind? I don't see where they are supposed to be." And then one day they were there... all 50 of them. I've only used one so far. lol

well if you think about it, its exponential. in less than a year, people could easily ask someone for an invite, that they wont need that rule to be on gmail
