Google gets friendly...

Google has been on an incessant march to seer said brand onto the consciousness of the public. I think they've done a pretty good job.

What I don't understand is why I suddenly received 41 Gmail invites yesterday (it appears as though Google has increased all Gmail acounts' invitation amounts to 50). Could it be that Google is gearing up for an actual rollout of Gmail? What I would imagine a more likely scenario to be is that Google is performing some smoke testing on their Gmail servers.

I guess we'll find out...
