So if you really want the name bob+gmail.com you are prollyalready out of luck. The day the flood gates open I'm sure it will be insane. I bet everyone is going to try to register every name they can think so they can sell it like theseon ebay.In a frenzy reminiscent of the dot.com mania of the late 1990s, Web users are bidding for invitations to join Google's test e-mail service before the company begins giving them away en masse.
Google's Gmail service will be supported by advertising and will be free for users when it launches for the public.
But those testing the service in its beta version are able to invite a small number friends to join, a loophole that has created a kind of an underground market on the Internet as people from around the world angle to secure the most desirable e-mail addresses.
