Gmail Invite "Jeopardy" ContestUpdate on 6/27: The Contest Is Over! Thanks to all those who played! Answers are below. Winners have been sent invites.OK, I've got 10 Gmail Invites to get rid of. You want 'em? Here's the deal. I have one of those Jeopardy desk calendars that has a bunch of questions on it. I always forget about the calendar, and am always behind several days on turning pages on it. So here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to run a trivia contest using questions from that calendar. Answers are to be submitted via e-mail to utterlyboring [at] gmail [dot] com. Questions (or answers, since this is Jeopardy) are below. The category for the answers are in bold preceding the question. You get a point for answering a question right, and a bonus point if you link to this post on your blog (let me know via your answer e-mail if you'd linked, or send a TrackBack ping to this post). The Deadline For Submissions is Sunday 6/27 @ Noon Pacific Time. Remember that all "answers" must be in the form of a question, or you won't get the point. The winner will get three invites, second place gets two, and the other five to go to three, four, five, six and seventh place. These are either Double or Final Jeopardy answers, so they're not too easy (though you could probably find them on Google). Update: If there's a tie, I will send around a tie-breaker question -- or 10 :-). Here we go...
Good Luck To Everyone! Posted by Jake on 06/23/04 @ 12:08 PM

That is all. STAN said on 07/23/04 @ 07:23 AM: NO BIG DEAL! Just because something is limited, restricted, guarded, it is valuable! Thats normal human nature. BTDT. No big deal. I was never too interested in google mail anyway, I was way too happy with Yahoo. But I wanted to check out what all the fuss was about, and in 1 hour of trying, I was able to track a friend who had gmail invites. Having registered at gmail, I am un-impressed. The "conversations" feature looks good, the interface is nice, simple and quick, and thats it. I am not too impressed by the "search your emails" feature. How many times have you had to really search for emails in your inbox. The interface is clean and neat, and being from google, its here to stay, but spending your hard-earned $$ for a google account, give me a break. Pure Insanity! Everyone reading this will agree it no big deal when you too have a gmail account. Dont pay for the damn thing. Send me an email eye_am_stan at yahoo dot com. I will distribute any gmail invite that I get my hands onto. I would really like to dillute this exclusivity of the damn gmail thing. Drop me a line and keep checking your inboxes.
