You can also use @googlemail.com domain name instead of @gmail.com to double the number of email addresses.

Yes, you could do even more shenanigans registering with the following:

    john.doe+uniquestring@gmail.com
    j.ohndoe+uniquestring@gmail.com
    jo.hndoe+uniquestring@gmail.com
    joh.ndoe+uniquestring@gmail.com
    johnd.oe+uniquestring@gmail.com
    johndo.e+uniquestring@gmail.com

    john.doe+uniquestring@@googlemail.com
    j.ohndoe+uniquestring@@googlemail.com
    jo.hndoe+uniquestring@@googlemail.com
    joh.ndoe+uniquestring@@googlemail.com
    johnd.oe+uniquestring@@googlemail.com
    johndo.e+uniquestring@@googlemail.com

Oops there's a mistake there; there's supposed to be just one `@` symbol!
