I have been using hotmail for a decade now, although many of people i know switched to
gmail. I was going to switch to gmail about two years ago, but I couldn’t do it simply because
I had this hotmail address for so long time, and is too significant for me . So, I decided to use
gmail account just for the ‘ebay’, so I don’t have to read all the ad, and email going back and
forth from the ebay. Meantime, I expected hotmail to improve on their interface, and
finally they did it! after long, long waiting. Well, I was excited to see the changes, and
my excitement moved to disappointment not long after I tried it. I can’t believe how it
laid out the buttons. Was it necessary to have a two column botton layout ?
Also, hotmail is called LIVE mail now and included in Microsoft Live page. This means that
I have to see all other junks including social networking sharing. I see that all the new social
networking services are trying to copy either facebook’s design, or method of connecting
people, but come on! it’s too similar to facebook, and funny part is that I can even connect
my facebook account with it.
I was expecting Microsoft to bring more innovative user experience even to this small
part of their services, but again Microsoft never lets me down. You simply suck, hotmail.
