I just signed into my Gmail today, and now in the bottom left hand corner where it use to have the link for inviting people..... it has something else. This something else is different than the normal "you have X more invites". Now it has a direct input for email addresses and now it tells me I have 50 invites left!!
Is this the same for anyone else with gmail?
It would seem as though google is really pushing for everyone who wants a gmail account can now have one..... while still keeping it in beta and not allowing public sign-ups.
