No, no, I'm not inviting you all to have a gmail account.
Those who want one though can contact me and I get you an account invitation.
What I meant though is that Myspace has an option where you can
click a button, which then takes you to your Gmail to log in and
there you can automatically send an invitation to Myspace to everybody who you have in your gmail.
Could make for a nice addition to have visitors bring in more people to your forum.
Anybody looked into this?

Didn't know about that. I've been thinking about the Google chat myself. (Not that I've had time to do anything, but I've been thinking about it.)<

I'm going to spy on the Myspace system tomorrow.
I have a weekend of hard programming planned.
Maybe I can even slide in some sleep and food, but aside
from that my forum as well as my blog thingy should be
great if I get these things to work.
So much to do...can somebody help me stuff 48 hours in a day? ;)

If you're describing what I think you're describing, I'd recommend you don't do it; sounds suspiciously like phishing to me.

The MySpace bit or the chat?
I was curious to know if the Google Chat could be handled like the forum already handles AIM, ICQ, etc.
I think what ILLHILL was thinking of was finding a way to send a mass invite to everyone in your GMail address book. As long as no addresses are being stored in the blog (the ones from the GMail account that weren't there already), and as long as the GMail account information isn't being stored, I don't think it would be a problem.
I can see where people might have some reservations though, and you would have to find some way to address those concerns.
Now that you raise the concern and I think about it in that context, I can see where it could be a very thin line to walk... but other companies do it without problems. It might be worthwhile to talk with some of the developers and find out how they addressed those concerns.<

I'm not planning anything illegal.
It's just that they (Myspace) have an option to check if your friends are part of the community.
To do that they give you a login screen for Gmail (or Yahoo or Hotmail) and after that the software checks the emailaddresses of your contacts to see if they are part of the community.
If not you can chose to send them an invitation.
