Gmail in Demand

When Gmail was launched just weeks ago, I knew it would be in high demand. Not only of the 1 GB capacity but also because of its name that people would be clamoring for an account. However I didn't expect this kind of following:

"One poster on the Web site Gmail Swap (http://gmailswap.revhost.net/), which is not affiliated with Google, offered a certificate for a donkey ride down the Grand Canyon valued at $200 in exchange for a Gmail invitation."

"Another person used as a lure an authentic Trojan costume that he said was from the Hollywood epic "Troy," starring Brad Pitt."

"A resident of France appealed to users of the online community Craigslist for an account, offering in exchange a "beautiful postcard from Paris ... with a message of choice to anyone you like/love."

"Another poster to the service vowed to pray for the person generous enough to hand over an invitation, with one exception: "Unable to repair male-pattern baldness."

The news seemed amusing until I read the last line:

Early users of e-mail services often have the first crack at common or unique addresses. However, because Gmail is still in testing, Google could ask users to re-register when the official version is launched -- a scenario the company declined to comment on.


WTF?!?
