Another thought. Since Gmail has been in beta for around a year now, shouldn't they just open it up to the public?

I mean, they pretty much give out unlimited invitations now, why not just drop the "beta" title and get rid of the invitation process.

I'm assuming there is some sort of business/legal advantage to staying in beta testing?

I would think one advantage of the invitation process is to eliminate bots from creating a million addresses and spamming everyone. At least it makes it more difficult for them to do so.

Is the search box all messed up? I can't even see the cursor or what I type in there.

Seems like it doesn't like copy & paste into there. Also seems like it only searches existing contacts.

It works fine for me, I can see the cursor, and no problems with copy & paste.

It searches existing Talk and Gmail contacts, as well as any pending invites.

Google Talk

Google's brand new instant messaging service. You need a gmail account to use it. The "call" feature is incredible, it actually sounds like the person is right beside you. Knowing Google, this is going to become the industry standard.

I had no idea Google had this out. I did install their new Sidebar feature yesterday and it will be a mainstay for me.
