Ironically a few months earlier I had written a post about why it was unlikely that Google would launch an email product.... remains likely my worst ever prediction (though to be fair to myself I don't usually make predictions like I did in that post)
@ernie indeed it is an occupational hazard of anyone who writes online though in my case while I've lost that original post as I recall it was from early in 2004 (perhaps even Feb/Mar) so was nearly immediately rendered utterly inaccurate. (I really should see if I can find where I wrote that - part of a bigger project of collecting my scattered digital writings and collecting them in one place)
@ernie May 31, which was still early enough to sell the subsequent invites on eBay. Though this didn’t work out too great, cause one of the buyers was a former co-worker and felt obligated to just give it to them.
@ironicsans I’m sure I got it because I was a Something Awful user and someone gave me an invite there. That feels like how I would’ve gotten something like this in 2004.
