GMail self-invites

Not exactly Mac-related, but I know a lot of us use the service. TUAW reader Pieter points out, for those who, like us, weren't paying attention, that GMail seems to be taking steps toward moving out of beta. As of the past day or so, you don't have to wait for a friend to send you an invitation: you can get one yourself by having Google send one to your mobile phone via SMS. This will undoubtedly open things up to a wider audience, although no I have no idea what I'm going to do with the obscene number of invitations I have left. That "Beta" underneath the logo may not be there for much longer.
