More GMail, and orkut too

Everyone that asked for a GMail invitation below received one, and along the way I got another batch of invites to give away, so if there's anyone else that wishes one, speak up.

Also, it occurred to me I have an Orkut account too, which is Google's foray into the social-networking hype, and is a lot like MySpace or Friendster, as well as a number of others. Orkut has a reputation of being a bit more "alpha-geek" than the rest, since all the root invitations went out from Google employees. I received one a couple of months back but haven't used it that much, although some people swear by it now from all indications. If you would like to see what all the hype is about yourself, just say so in a comment and I'll send you an invitation.
