Talk:Gmail/Archive 1

message: I have created a couple of gmail accounts, with usernames wikiwiki and wikipedian, the passwords are easy to guess (hint they have to do with Wikipedia, and they're both all lowercase), so whoever can do it can have them. I suggest you change the password soon afterwards though :) Quick in the draw 00:35, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and if someone guesses them, please post here, so others don't continue to try uselessly (or I might do it at some point). Quick in the draw 00:42, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Isn't there some danger that, seeing a bunch of wrong password submissions, google will automatically disable logins for that account? -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 01:00, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, for the first one, you have to be a pretty addicted to editing to get it, and for the second one, the password changes by only one letter from the login :) Don't grab them both please. Quick in the draw 01:03, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

text: Thanks! That was fun, and I hadn't had the chance to try it out before, so I grabbed the first one. Rasmus (talk) 10:21, 25 Jun 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  A couple of gmail accounts 

message: Didn't GMail just change its invite system so that people can now sign up? If so, this should be reflected in the article.
* It appears so, at least when I access Google's homepage there is a from which I can sign up.

Well,is this topic worth being added to an encyclopedia? If every new product of a certain popularity was added, what an encyclopedia this would be? (I.e. the latest renting models of XY which has an monopol in your country.)
:That's actually a very good point.
:I, myself, am not sure if this article should be an encyclopedia, just as much as I'm not sure what encyclopedia means for most people.
:To me, it means it's a place where you go to find relevant information about a subject.
:So, to me, anything can fit into an ecnyclopedia, it's all about the way of organizing it.
:To me, even the dictionary should have an "encyclopediatic" article for each word and each letter.
:But, this article did get too big and it does need a better organization. The first page should be shorter and more clear. Well, just clean and bold.
:That's why I've already said I'm going to organize it as soon as I get the time to do it. I just hope someone can help me on this, but I'm not really waiting for it. :P
:I also should read that encyclopedia article to make sure I'm not following the wrong place. Maybe it's actually a controversial word and definition... But I like to believe most of wikipedians agree with my definition of encyclopedia at least if applied to wikipedia, which probably is a new definition of a whole new encyclopedia concept.
:This is so the wrong place to talk about it. XD
