I have a confession to make. Sometimes I am a very judgmental person. And there is nothing that brings out my judgementallyness more than your e-mail address.
Oh, yes, my friends. It’s true. Your e-mail address reveals much about you.
@aim.com – You have an AIM e-mail address? Seriously? Who signs up for an e-mail address with AIM? Did they trick you into doing that?
@aol.com – Please tell me you are not still paying for AOL….
@bellsouth.net, @comcast.net, @charter.net – You’ve settled down and established a family.
@gmail.com – You’re a reasonably hip person. I might like to meet you.
@webtv.net – I can’t decide if this is worse than aim.com. Yeah, I think it is. It’s fine if you used to have webtv, but you should have upgraded your service and your e-mail address a long time ago.
@hotmail.com – You played bass (rockergrrl1997) or loved penguins (iluvpenguinz79) 10 years ago when you were 14.
@juno.com, @netzero.net – You still have dial-up? That stinks. You’re probably doing something smart like saving money and following budget guidelines.
I think the award for Coolest Email Address EVER goes to a friend whose e-mail address was @davidbowie.com
this is great. i think the same way. i really want a davidbowie email address. at one point i had a britney spears email address.
I think the @bellsouth, @att, @[service provider] email address show shortsightedness and inexperience. Trust me, you won’t stick with one ISP forever. they’ll change their prices, you’ll move. Something. Much more forward thinking to use a web-based email address that won’t change when your ISP does. Gmail is preferred. Hotmail and Yahoo are allowed. Other fringe webmail’s are cool. Of course, the best is when you use the email address from your own domain.
Which is ironic, considering that i own…5 domains and don’t use an email address for any of them. Just my Gmail.
I should get our last name as a domain and use that. Just never get around to it, ya know? 😉
i used @beer.com for years. then 1 day it just disappeared and I never bothered to set up a new 1. been with gmail since the very early invite days.
Wow, Paul, there was no kinda love there.
Where did you go? Did you attend the 6pence show? How have you been?
