Gmail Swap
The site "Gmail Swap" announces: "only a handful of lucky ducks who have snagged an account. And while the rest of us go hungry, you can be sure that the best email addresses are being gulped down by nefarious hooligans."
To get around having to have a lame address like "ws_alist_IRL_ck21@gmail.com," the site has a swap board where people try to make deals to get good email address names. See www.gmailswap.com
At one glance it appears many of the swap offers are comical with people offering "my soul" or "access to my infinite mind." Others offer money through PayPal, electronics or concert recordings. Perhaps, creativity would spare the need for offers?
