There is a pretty sweet website called Gmail Swap. It’s a neat idea that has gotten tons of press lately. You send someone freshly baked sugar cookies, they give you a Gmail invitation. Simple as that.
Here are my favorite offers so far for gmail accounts:
a robot (doing something sad) drawn in MS Paint
the story of meeting Swedish techno star, Nordman
recordings and a hug from a member of the drum corps
an authentic bible signed by Jesus
join someone’s Christmas Card List, for life!
