Larry Magid: Why I Switched From Gmail to Hotmail

Why would anyone want to change their email account and have to send the new address to all of their family, friends, contacts, etc just so they can "keep current"? It's an address, like a house, not a new car.

They can't be serious with this stuff right?  I have them all except Aol and FaceBook and I will pass on those.  I dropped gmail off a cliff when google tried to take over the internet.

Ok, HP tech guy/gal should I point you in the direction of some good technology sources and news?  You are missing an opportunity here.

I've found that anyone I'm having an email issue with is either hotmail, yahoo, or gmail.

You get what you pay for folks.

Let me guess...you use that monstrosity-of-a-piece-of-software called MS Outlook, right?

I've been a gmail user since it really WAS in Beta, and am proud of it.
