Yeah I\'m like half way through it. It\'s cool and makes my basic html knowledge look like dark ages shit, heh. If it can interface with Outlook and other email clients (and maybe it does, I\'m not done with the vid) it could be useful, otherwise it\'s another glorified Facebook/Twitter/whatever social networking thing.

It\'ll be yet another "necessary" web add on unless people can use it exclusively instead of email, so hopefully that\'s the goal. There\'s too many "necessary" social sites out there sucking up work hours as it is.

Fun concept but dear lord Google needs to hire some better designers, everything they come out with is bland as shit.

The email part of it was pretty interesting.  Very long though.  I just listened to it while I was working and lost interest when they started talking about twitter.  The email part of it was great though.

I think that\'s sort of the point with most google stuff... clean and simple.  To each his own I guess.  Most everything they do now is open source, so they are leaving all the fancy interfaces to the open source crowd I guess?

So I got an invite for the preview, any of you guys get one yet?  Don\'t know too many people that have it yet so there isn\'t much I can do with it as of now.

I got an invite as well and signed up.  I don\'t know anybody else who has it so it\'s pretty useless as of now.  Not sure if you can invite others or not like they did with Gmail.
