i think the theory on the different tiers or whatever... is correct.
ive had gmail for almost 3 days now, and I still dont have any invites to give :-s

I think so too, but I think 3 days is the wrong way to look at it; epohs stated they seem to come around 7pm our time (me nyc you boston), and unless my memory is failing (and I'm too lazy to check), both of our accounts have only seen that time once (got them friday night).
The only explanation is that they are temporarily burgeoning enrollment to test final server rollout (for public offering).. so that further complicates predictions on the pattern.

I wish I could figure out anything; I'm waiting for these as well--I want to hook up my dad and a few people on here.
The thought they've put into it is intimidatingly impressive[*]. I expected the conversations thing would be gimmicky, but it's nice. And, scarily, with the convenient keybindings, it's faster to use then the email client running on my actualy machine.
[*] among other things, it's the first email interface which isn't a small improvement of the classic message index (sortable) + message view + folders, which is basically what people had when email started 40 years ago. Of course there's influence from IM, but still a pretty impressive departure.

actually, web@chaosmachine.org bounced back to me, so you probably didn't get the invite.

i logged in just before i left home this morning, and it worked fine.
i've heard of a few people getting this error though. try clearing your cookies and whatnot, and trying again.
if you still can't log in, i could send you another invite and see if you could log in under a different name. but, i couldn't to that until i get off work later this evening.

gmail as an active desktop item rocks.
As it's javascript things generally don't open in a different window. HAIL!

no.
It was the first believable number that came to my mind!
:D
But it has to be alot. Didnt all google employees get 100 invites? so lets say for simple purposes 100 employees get 100 invites.
100x100=x
x is the people that are second tier. Now think about what teir you are and how many invites you have sent out. There are alot of people in your position!
It has to be quite many!

a google invite leaves my inbox traveling at the speed of tcp/ip divided by any lost packets, times the number of hops. a second user clicks send/recieve 12 hops away times the sucktitude of other web based email programs. how many licks does it take to get to the chewie chocolatey center of a tootsie pop?

/. reports:
Emails and invitations sent to Hotmail from Gmail accounts do not bounce, but nor do they arrive in the recipient's Inbox - they vanish mysteriously into the aether. Joel Johnson writes in his Gizmodo weblog that invitations he sent to a Hotmail address bounced (this even received coverage from ZDNet). Search Engine Roundtable writes that several ISPs are blocking Gmail. It's already well-documented that Yahoo moves Gmail invites into the Bulk Mail folder. I've personally confirmed the Hotmail and Yahoo blocking

yeah, but i'm not sure that's true.
i've sent invites to several hotmail accounts, and i'm pretty sure they all arrived.
although, yahoo does seem to be filtering them as spam.

a bright red link saying "Invite a friend to join gmail" will appear right beside 'create a filter'.
you'll know when you can invite people.
