So lately, it seems that every good joke or video, or picture I send out through hotmail… ends up some complete and utter garbage in people’s inboxes. All it ends up being is a mass of mixed up letters and numbers, that spans X amount of pages, instead of the picture or movie file, that was simply forwarded on.
It never did this before, to this extent. In the past it might have done it to maybe 1 in 25 emails I had sent out, now it does it to about 1 in every 4 or 5.
What gives? Other than the fact that hotmail sucks.
Hotmail is great, in that it allows me to immediately judge somebody’s tech-awareness and level of expertise. In my line of work, if somebody gives me their e-mail address, and it’s a hotmail one, I immediately put them in the “don’t have a clue” category.
Honestly, anybody who has a clue abandoned hotmail long ago.
Nothing worse than somebody giving out a business card with a hotmail address on it. It just screams “I have no clue!”
I would have to disagree, its nice to only have to remember the before the @… and to check your email anywhere in the world simply going to hotmail.com is nice. You can store stuff in your hotmail say a resume and print it out on the spot.
Or you can have a @citytel.net on your business card and in brackets (dont email me on sunday cuase theres a good chance that citywest will be down)
I have a citytel email address still and it never goes down just because your internet in town goes down on and off does not mean the mail servers are down. I’ve checked my mail lots when the internet in rupert is down works fine for me.
And if you cant remember your username @ your isp’s domain you need hotmail for sure.
I use hotmail simply for jokes. Basically, it was the first email address I ever had, and I’m lazy to switch all my addresses over to my gmail accounts. When it’s something important, I use my citytel account.
I would never think of putting a hotmail address on a resume… that’s just simply retarded. Just like I would never put drunkkanndlovvely69@hotmail.com. If you’re going to have a main email address like that… why even bother putting it on a resume?
