Did anybody land any good Gmail account names?

I sure did.
All will be revealed 'in time'....

 

[David G]

Yes, got some real good ones and even have a few invites left over. There are still good names left. I suggest you reg them in conjunction with your website name, i.e. [email protected] if you also own the website www.domain-name.com.

... like [email protected]?

EDIT: Okay, who's got [email protected]?

As of this minute, Google has NOT yet opened up its gmail for public sign-up's. You'll need an "invitation" instead from someone who is already using gmail, who in turn got it from being either the first batch of beta-testers or invited by somebody else.

You may however find quite some threads about this gmail thingy right here at DNForum. Some members are nice enough to give them out for free (like I have done with a few "invitations" of mine), some others are putting them up for sale or auction in either F$ or hard cash/PayPal (and again, I'm one of those ). Check them out, or if you are patient enough (and don't mind when all those "good" aliases are gone), wait for a short while.

These names would have greater value if google start giving out free hosting pages serving Adsense.
Google can generate Adsense revenue and one can get search engine placement.

example Debt.gmail.com
Loan.gmail.com etc

WOW, that's a pretty good idea. You should run that by them

I am onstantly surprised by how many businesses I see still using @aol.com and @hotmail.com addresses. Just today I was talking with a client who just changed ISPs, and I offered him email services on his own domain, but he turned me down, electing instead to adopt the cox.net address he had been given. Since GMail will be free, and offer unmatched capacity, I would not be surprised at all if these accounts have some level of resalability. I wouldn't expect to get too much for them, though.

I have never been ashamed at using my Yahoo account for business either. I have done TONS of business online, and only ever had one person that I can remember make mention of it, and he ultimately bought a website off of me for over $20k :approve:

 

[cyphix]

I just picked up one that I was very suprised was still available..

phones at gmail.com

 

[dax]

Few days ago i got hoster-AT-gmail.com. I was surprised to see it available.
Also, few days ago even education-AT-gmail.com was available, but someone took it in the meantime... I think that all "valuable" names will be taken when GMail goes public...

[Prosperous]

Agreed, ecards is great. I had such a good list of names (and reg'd many of 'em) but I always tend to overlook some great ones that I then later see that others have reg'd.

 

[OnSpec]

Thanks Net and BeShop. There are some good ones still available.
