Google's Email, Gmail, Is Now Open To Public

gmail-logo020807.gifLike I reported at Search Engine Land yesterday, Gmail Now Public Beta, Open To All. That is right, you no longer need an invite to get a Gmail account. Which rocks, people can stop leaving me comments for a Gmail invite (211 comments to be exact). So go to Gmail and sign up without an invite.

Right, it won't cost you $250 for an invite like it once went for on eBay. Oh, it is also not a hoax when it launched on April 1, 2004 (April Fools Day), it was real and no hoax.
