An interesting news item:
I rarely use it myself. I created an account when my former ISP (TPG in Australia) cancelled its web page and email services and I needed an email for my websites.

At first Gmail was by invitation, you had to sign up for one. I got mine on February 18, 2005
It looks like I signed up for Gmail in January 2009, but it took me a while to write my four-part series on why.
Do you remember when the invitation-only period ended? My welcome email is dated May 24, 2005. But I don’t remember if it was still by invitation at that point.
2007 for me - but I do remember invites.

My welcome message is 6/11/2004. Didn’t remember I’ve been using them since almost the start.
