The only time that your e-mail address is used, is to send you your password, which you change right away. If you don’t feel comfortable with giving your ‘primary’ info, then simply set up a ’secondary’ yahoo/hotmail/netscape/canoe (etc) account and use that!
I agree with you that an e-mail address should not be required, and I hope that eventually the ‘reader’ can post comments with nothing but a registered password.
But, for that to happen, it’s gonna take a lot more than a few ‘Anons’ requesting it.
It’s gonna take feedback, it’s gonna take dialog amongst each other, and that ain’t gonna happen unless me/he/she knows that we’re talking to the person that we think we are talking too!
For instance…if you happen to reply to this comment, how on earth do I know it is you??

Not that I was one of the anons above, but why should I be required to provide my email address (who knows what will be done with it) in order to provide a username for my comment? Why not provide a “name” field and allow people to type it in when they comment? Most weblogs work this way – this is a blog, not a forum.

It’s a lot like TypeKey on Movable Type. I don’t want to be treated like a second-class citizen just because I won’t sign up for TypeKey.

Some of us prefer to use anonymous comments. Sorry if you have a problem with that, but for me it’s better than required registration.

Why do you say that MSN Hotmail is really the worse service you know? I like it more than all and it’ll always be my primary email. But I also wonder why they write “some will have that 25 MB” why not all?

As of this posting, there are eight other ‘comments’, all from readers that have chosen to be Anon.
My question to all of you that have taken the time to actually provide feedback is a simple one…
Are you all the same person? Is there two ‘postings’ by the same user? Three, four, or five?
If you people out there really have something to say, it takes about half a minute to make up a ‘username’ (sorry, ‘daveslounge’ is taken).
It could be anything…Bugs Bunny, Homer Simpson, Scooby Doo…it doesn’t matter.
At least, by doing so, the readers of this site would get some sort of ‘coherancy (I’m sure I spelled that wrong!)’ in the comments.

I’m sure that anyone that has ever provided ‘feedback’ on this site knows how important this site is. It is not ‘filtered news’, it’s not propoganda.
When you read a ’story’ on CNN (for instance), you don’t have the option of ‘commenting’ on that story. Whether you agree or disagree with it, you have to accept it for what it is.
This site provides you with a ‘forum’..feedback, opinions, ideas….”I agree”…”I disagree”

The ‘comments’ gathered could, and should, be open to debate.
It’s like Bush and that Kerry guy (I donno..I’m from Canada) debating with masks over their faces….
Pick a name, any name, and sign up.
Then post your opinions.
Otherwise what is the point?

Hotmail if it does not come up with better offers, is going to lose its market share to others like the Indian Rediffmail who, it is understood, has already started offering 1 GB of mail storage that means Hotmail – 2 MB vs. Rediffmail – 1,024 MB – Rediffmail is offerign 512 times more space that Hotmail! Vow!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes; it is true. Rediffmail has started offering 1 GB of email storage. Google is testing; Yahoo is offering 100 MB; Microsoft is still reluctant to decide; REDIFFMAIL has carved a niche to grow!

Okay, has anyone noticed that in the email from yahoo introducing the new ‘bulk email folder’ (much like the junk mail folder in hotmail) they state that ‘you might wanna periodically delete becuase it adds to your account size’

BUT, in the actual bulk mail folder, its says the files ‘do NOT add to your total account size’

What the hell is wrong with them?

Hello,
When google is testing its 1GB email space, Yahoo increasing the space to 100MB, and others trying to catch up, a small company from India is already offering 1GB email storage and its free.
Look at http://www.rediffmail.com
Cheers.

Fools ! . There is no need to wait for google, yahoo or msn to come up with 1 gig of e-mial storage. Rediffmail has become the first company ever to start with 1 gig of free e-mail storage.

Guys start looking at other sources and you will see there are a vast players in this market.

In my experience Hotmail is really the worse service one can have!
