Why Google just sends a few GMail invites at a time

Robert Scoble (he is one who swapped firefox button on his own site for a “Installing XPSP2″ button on Aza Doltzer’s blog) met with Chris Uhlik of Google who is the program manager of Gmail and the Google Toolbar. Chris’s answer to the question may suprise a few of us. It “turns out they don’t have enough server capacity to deal with everyone who wants an account. So, when they buy a new server and get it installed they hand out another round of invites. Heh, their server salesperson must cheer everytime he or she sees more invites being advertised on weblogs.”
