What Your Email Address Says About You

Hamilton Nolan · 10/06/09 09:24AMYahoo dominates Sarah Palin's email contact list
Nicholas Carlson · 09/18/08 10:00AMSometimes I hear people ask: "Who uses Yahoo Mail anymore?" The answer, of course, is just about everybody. ComScore puts the number at around 260 million people — far more than Google's 90 million. But statistics can feel abstract. Now that a 4chan reprobate has hacked into Alaska governor and "average hockey mom" Sarah Palin's private Yahoo email account and discovered, among other things, her contact list, we have a more concrete demonstration of Yahoo's dominance of Palin's decidedly down-home demographic. Here is a list contains six Yahoo addresses, an AOL address, a Hotmail address and exactly zero Gmail addresses.Sarah Palin's contact list: Beth Leschper (Beth Leschper SOA) [Edit] [redacted]@alaska.gov Blanche Kallstrom (Blanche) [Edit] [redacted]@starband.net Bristol Palin (Bristol) [Edit] [redacted]@hotmail.com Chuck Heath (Chuck) [Edit] [redacted]@yahoo.com [redacted]@yahoo.com (Todd) [Edit] [redacted]@yahoo.com (Frank) [Edit] Heather Bruce (Heather) [Edit] [redacted]@gci.net [redacted]@alaska.gov (Ivy SOA) [Edit] [redacted]@yahoo.com (Ivy Personal) [Edit] Judy Patrick (Judy Patrick) [Edit] [redacted]@mtaonline.net [redacted]@alaska.gov (Kris Perry SOA) [Edit] [redacted]@yahoo.com (Kris Personal) [Edit] [redacted]@yahoo.com (Molly) [Edit] Roseanne Hughes (Roseanne Hughes SOA) [Edit] [redacted]@alaska.gov Sally Heath (Mom) [Edit] [redacted]@mtaonline.net Sean Parnell (Sean Personal) [Edit] [redacted]@alaska.com Sharon Leighow (Sharon SOA) [Edit] [redacted]@alaska.gov [redacted]@aol.com (Sharon Leighow Personal) [Edit] Track Palin (Track) [Edit] [redacted]@hotmail.com
Two out of three Americans already bored with cloud computing
Paul Boutin · 09/12/08 03:00PMThe latest report from the Pew Internet survey machine says, "69 percent of online Americans use webmail services, store data online, or use software programs such as word processing applications whose functionality is located on the Web." What they really mean is: A lot of people use Hotmail. But while the 69 percent number overstates the case, there are some surprising stats in the details:
Hotmail? Hot bride!
Jackson West · 07/02/08 06:00PMSabeer Bhatia, the Hotmail founder who gleaned a cool $400 million in the email startup's sale to Microsoft, got married this year to the gorgeous Tanya Sharma, heiress to the Baidyanath Group fortune. This picture of the bride and groom from the nuptials held on "the exclusive Malaysian Island of Langkawi" was published by our new favorite anonymous blogger covering the Indian tech and outsourcing scene who promises further dish. Have a better caption? The best one will become the new headline. Yesterday's winner: "I think you know what the problem is just as well as I do." by kadedworkin.
Hotmail busted. Again.
Jordan Golson · 02/27/08 10:02PMHotmail knocked offline in the Northeast
Jordan Golson · 02/26/08 11:52AMMicrosoft's Hotmail is down in the Northeast. Other Microsoft websites are sporadically reachable but extremely slow for many users. I'm located in Boston and cannot connect to Hotmail or Live.com. The MSN network status page for Hotmail claims there are no network issues at this time, but that's clearly incorrect. This is the second major service outage this week, following Pakistan's takedown of YouTube over the weekend. Is Hotmail down for you? Let us know in the comments. A Microsoft's flack's PR-speak comment is below.
VC sponsors a social-network pissing contest
Nicholas Carlson · 11/15/07 01:57PMVC blogger Fred Wilson gives Google and Yahoo too much credit: He's taking their "Inbox 2.0" initiatives to turn Gmail and Yahoo Mail into social networks seriously. He 's put together a chart comparing the "social graphs" — we think he means "number of users" — of some popular social networks versus Microsoft's Hotmail and AIM.com. Wilson estimates that Yahoo and Google, which aren't actually on the chart, have about 250 million and 60 million users. Here's the chart.
