Blogger hooked me up.

I’m a big fan of blogger. Not to mention the fact that they sent me a free hooded sweatshirt when Google purchased them, or the fact that they provide an awesome service for free, today they hooked me up with a much publicized, controversial and coveted Gmail account. Google knows how to market stuff by doin’ cool stuff. I know Sergey was just thinkin’ that I would be boasting to the rest of my friends that I got one, and he was right!

I signed on to do a bit of blogging today on blogger, and lo and behold, they wanted to give me a Gmail account. Of course being the willing participant I am, I signed up to check it out.

Now granted, I do quite a bit of blogging on blogger, but I’m willing to bet I’m not the only one they are giving out accounts too.

Sorry though…I tested, and it doesn’t offer it to new blogger users. I’m trying not to be a jerk, but I do feel like at least a simple “neener neener” is in order.:) After all the media hype though, I feel like they are watching me;)

The ads are very non-obtrusive, and the search function looks to be the killer app that would be the main reason I would even consider the pain in the butt e-mail switch.
