From a reader:

Couple of quick comments.. Did you see this story about CSS on your Gmail messages?

Also, please, enough with the gmail give-aways.. How about some stories about Gmail and the things you can do with it?

OK, I get the idea. Actually, the idea that the GMail giveaways were taking over the site has been building in the back of my mind. I, with the help of kind readers, have given away well over 200 invites over the past few weeks but enough is enough. It’s time to get back to my old ways - GMail news. From this point forward, if you want to contribute GMail invites to the people, please submit them to the GMail-o-matic queue.

On a related note, I did register gmailskins.com several weeks ago with the thought of creating a site featuring GMail skins. After registering it, I felt that maybe there wasn’t room for enough creativity using CSS to modify GMail’s look. What do you guys think? There are obviously some limitations - IE doesn’t allow user provided CSS files for remote site application. Of course, IE doesn’t encompass all browser use but it does account for more significantly more than 50% of the market. Are there enough Firefox users to make this a worthwhile endeavor? Perhaps Bill will get the IE team on the ball and provide support for user provided CSS files? Come on Bill! This is your opportunity to get a jump on the soon to come Google browser.

Thanks Tim!
