Mail gmail!

Ever since google has started giving out invites for its beta-version of gmail, a wave of gmail-mania has swept over the place. People are making money off selling them and are trading them for everything conceivable.

Dont believe me, read on. Here's what Business world says,

Sean, a Canadian, has started a website, www.gmail-swap.com, which lets people without Google invites offer money, love or prayers in return for a mail invite. People have been offering boat rides in Venetian canals, a note slipped through the Holy Wall in Jerusalem, an original piano composition, a chance to work on a genome project - all for the Google invite. Some have taken the capitalist ground, listing the invite on eBay. The bids have ranged between $34.99 and $60.

Wonder why this mad craze for a gmail account. If you say memory space, i disagree, i have never even crossed my 4MB limit in Yahoo!(100MB now, n its anyone's guess why!), what would i do with 1GB of space? The excellent search facilities could be it, but isn't google good enough?! Any thing you can think of??!
