Changes
I've been looking for ways to optimize my internet experience and wanted to get some opinions (not that i've gotten many comments in the past..but here goes).
As much as i realize i check my email frequently, I can't say i've been too happy with MSN/Hotmail (page is starting to lag). The new microsoft live hotmail is just like outlook so i'm really familiar with it and love the preview option. Also looking into RSS feeds. So here are my options and opinions.
Debating home page/email
MSN/Hotmail
+ been with hotmail forever. personal and "business" emails are there
+ comfortable with MSN front page for new and interesting content (usually)
- MSN Page is really lagging lately
- Layout gets boring when you check it frequently
/ haven't emailed much out of email accounts, so a change is possible.
- no search feature in hotmail
Yahoo/YahooMail
+ Number 1 website. Definite relability (as well as target)
+ Yahoo Mail is 2gb+ with (++)folder options.
+ already use yahoo groups options, TV, music videos.
+ fresh new layout
+ myYahoo has Rss feed integration.
- no preview option in email
- Never felt @yahoo would be really considered "professional". guess @hotmail seemed a lil bit better.
/ had used geocities off yahoo as well. But not active on it.
+ swwweet yahoo mail notifier
Google/Gmail
+ innovative and constantly creating new technology and services. Reliability again as well as target.
+ largest and most used search engine
+ gmail storage is constantly increasing
+ shared calendar and gtalk with IM service is interesting.
- don't really like the gmail interface or threading of emails.
Reviewing, i am sorta leaning towards yahoo. I think that google would be a good step forward as they are constantly improving their stuff, but yahoo seems to meet most of my needs. Anways, if you have any thoughts on it..let me know. Otherwise you may get an email soon saying its changed =p.
