Not that I really need it, to be honest : I dislike web-based emails, 1 Gb limited or not. But&#8230; But I am curious, and I want to try it. But I love Google as <a href=\"\/blog\/archives\/2002\/10\/23\/le-googlisme\/\">already proven<\/a>. But this is just too <del>cool<\/del> <del>geek<\/del> <del>must-have<\/del> l33t. Plus, if I happen to really use it once it&#39;s launched for everyone, I&#39;d rather have an early account when &quot;ozh&quot; is still available than get a &quot;the_real_ozh&quot; because my nick is already taken :)<\/p>\n<p>So, in my desperate need for a Gmail account, I&#39;ve looked a bit at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.gmailswap.com\/list\/\">GMail Swap<\/a>, a list where Gmail invitation owners can trade something with a wannabe like me. Actually, trade something&#8230; or anything, and most of the time quite nothing. A bunch of offers there are just fun, but there are also plenty of nice offers : help to install a linux distro, postcards from a foreign country, and other things more valuable by their kindness than the money they&#39;d actually cost.<\/p>\n<p>I&#39;ve myself concluded a nice deal with a nice Gmail user who has been kind enough to invite me. My part of the deal is my sending a few postcards from France this summer, which will be a nice occasion to make this virtual pal discover some beautiful places :)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Update<\/strong>: it worked, start the spamming at ozhozh@gmail.com ! (Jesus, login must be 6 letters at least&#8230;) Thanks a lot Tori ! :)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to get a Gmail account !<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[44,60,42,1,11],"class_list":["post-52","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","tag-cult","tag-gmail","tag-google","tag-my-life","tag-web"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=52"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/52\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=52"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planetozh.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=52"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
