Once you create your account, I Gede Wijaya will be notified with your new @gmail.com address so you can stay in touch with Gmail!

If you haven’t already heard about Gmail, it’s a new search-based webmail service that offers:

- 1,000 megabytes (one gigabyte) of free storage
- Built-in Google search that instantly finds any message you want
- Automatic arrangement of messages and related replies into “conversations”
- Text ads and related pages that are relevant to the content of your messages

Gmail is still in an early stage of development. If you set up an account, you’ll be able to keep it even after we make Gmail more widely available and as one of the system’s early testers, you will be helping us improve the service through your feedback. We might ask for your comments and suggestions periodically and we appreciate your help in making Gmail even better.

Thanks,

The Gmail Team

Horeee…
Setelah 4,5 bulan, akhirnya bisa memiliki account Gmail.
Tau nggak sih lo? Punya Gmail itu keren. Eksklusif gitu loh!

Sebelumnya, kami (dengan mas Jaya) hanya bisa terheran-heran dengan kelakuan para pemilik dan peminat account Gmail. Sebuah imel invitasi untuk mendaftar Gmail (seperti contoh di atas) sampai diperjualbelikan. Umumnya jual-beli secara barter.

“Mén isoh oléh Gmail, awaké dhéwé adol opo yo, mas?”
“Diijoli sarung waé.”

Awalnya, tidak sedikit yang mengira kalau imel berkapasitas 1GB hanyalah lucu-lucuan 1 April. Eh, ternyata benar-benar muncul sehingga “mengganggu stabilitas” layanan imel tidak berbayar lainnya.

Sudah 4 tahun, ternyata Gmail masih mempertahankan status BETA.
Dikopi dari komentar diri sendiri:

Sejak awal kemunculannya, memang edan.
2004: Imel 1GB? Yang bener aja! Kali pertama membuat sensasi imel berkapasitas GB, “menghancurkan” layanan imel yang lain.
2005: Melipatgandakan kapasitas menjadi 2GB. Konon ada account yang telah penuh, mentok 1GB. Mulai muncul iseng-iseng mengenai kapasitas ~+1.
