Gmail opens its doors

As of Feb. 14, gmail is now open to everyone who wants an account. Since its start in 2004, users had to be "invited" to start an account by current users. A week after deploying open access to Asia and South America, Google announced the dropping of the invitation only requirement. Log on to gmail.google.com to get yours.

why did gmail start off needing invites to create a gmail account? i started my account a few months ago because my boyfriend invited me. i always wanted to open one, but none of my other friends had one. so i just used my yahoo mail. (although i like my yahoo mail, but gmail has some good traits too.)
