Seems like a smart decision to me. I probably wouldn't have cared about GMail if thirteen year old me didn't want an invite more than anything. Anyway, it's still a gradual rollout, just with hype. Seems like a smart decision to me if they don't overuse the gimmick.

- bowmessage 14y agoSpeaking as someone who was also 13 around the time GMail was doing their invite thing, yes. I coveted that thing. I listened to TWiT with Leo Laporte and heard them talk and talk about it, and scoured web forums looking for one. It's not that weird really.
- kbenson 14y agoI think coldtea was implying that there's something else that 13 year old boys (assumption from GP name) generally want more than anything, and it's generally a bit more physical than Gmail invites.
- coldtea 14y agoNot to mention they don't listen to ..."TWiT with Leo Laporte "!
- bowmessage 13y agoMan I loved that podcast for some reason. I was a weird kid.
- duaneb 14y agoThe only thing else I really wanted was video games, which were effectively not allowed in my household.
